Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Anthony Gerard Lewis, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging defendants denied him access to the courts. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Jones v. Union Pac. R.R. Co., 968 F.2d 937, 940 (9th Cir. 1992). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Lewis’s access-to-courts claim because Lewis failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether he suffered any actual injury. See Lewis v. Casey, 618 U.S. 343, 348-51, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 136 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996) (setting forth the elements of an access-to-courts claim and the actual injury requirement).

AFFIRMED.
