Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Idaho David C. Nye, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted October 16, 2024**

Before: SILVERMAN, R. NELSON, and MILLER, Circuit Judges.

Former Idaho state prisoner Conrad Cesar Nevarez appeals pro se from the

district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various

federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). review de novo. Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012)

(dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th

Cir. 2012) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii)). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Nevarez’s action because Nevarez’s

claims are barred by the Eleventh Amendment. See Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp.

v. Halderman, 465 U.S. 89, 100 (1984) (Eleventh Amendment immunity applies to

states and their agencies or departments absent their consent to be sued); Taylor v.

List, 880 F.2d 1040, 1045 (9th Cir. 1989) (Eleventh Amendment immunity applies

to state agencies, including the department of prisons).

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on

appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

All pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
