Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Raner C. Collins, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted January 18, 2023**

Before: GRABER, PAEZ, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

Arizona state prisoner James Ray Hunter appeals pro se from the district

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging retaliation. We

have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Toguchi v. Chung,

391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Hunter’s claim

relating to Stimple’s investigation of the visitation grievance because Hunter failed

to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether his constitutional rights

were violated. See Rhodes v. Robinson, 408 F.3d 559, 567-68 (9th Cir. 2005)

(setting forth the requirements of a retaliation claim in the prison context).

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Hunter’s claim

relating to Stimple’s subsequent alleged retaliatory conduct because Hunter failed

to exhaust his administrative remedies and he failed to raise a genuine dispute of

material fact as to whether administrative remedies were effectively unavailable.

See Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1172 (9th Cir. 2014) (once the defendant has

carried the burden to prove there was an available administrative remedy, the

burden shifts to the plaintiff to produce evidence showing that administrative

remedies were effectively unavailable to him). Although Hunter has submitted

documents on appeal demonstrating his efforts to exhaust, we do not consider

documents and facts not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias,

921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990).

AFFIRMED.
