MEMORANDUM *

Geoffrey Jacobs appeals the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action claiming violation of his civil rights arising out of an allegedly unlawful search and seizure of his computer. He contends that the search constituted an invasion of rights that led to information leading in turn to his termination from the Arizona Department of Public Safety. He unsuccessfully challenged that termination in Arizona administrative proceedings, claiming violation of his constitutional rights, but admitting to the underlying misconduct. He did not appeal to the state trial court.

The district court dismissed this action, ruling that under Arizona state law, Ja *838 cobs’s constitutional claims were barred by res judicata. It relied on Olson v. Morris, 188 F.3d 1083 (9th Cir. 1999), which held that a plaintiffs section 1983 claims in federal court were barred by res judicata when the plaintiff failed to appeal an administrative decision to an Arizona state court with jurisdiction to adjudicate the constitutional claims. Jacobs contends that his federal claims involve constitutional rights that could not have been administratively adjudicated. Under Olson, however, if they could have been adjudicated in an appeal to the state court, they are barred by res judicata. 188 F.3d at 1084-87. Like Olson, Jacobs is attempting to challenge the basis for his termination by bringing a constitutional claim in federal court after the state proceedings became final.

In this instance, neither party has cited Arizona precedent going either way on whether an Arizona court, on review of the administrative termination proceeding, would have reached the constitutional issues Jacobs seeks to adjudicate, as they may not be pertinent to the propriety of his termination as a matter of state law. But careful review of the complaint reflects that Jacobs is not seeking redress for any injuries other than those arising out of his termination. His federal complaint sought back pay, retirement benefits, and other compensation related to his employment and termination. The relief he seeks, including the plea for emotional distress, all arise from his termination. As the termination determination itself is res judicata, Jacobs cannot seek any relief on the premise that the termination was wrongful. See Olson, 188 F.3d at 1086 (“In Arizona, the failure to seek judicial review of an administrative order precludes collateral attack of the order in a separate complaint.”).

AFFIRMED.
