MEMORANDUM
Michael B. Williams, a civil detainee confined at Coalinga State Hospital pursuant to California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging that defendants violated the Thirteenth Amendment and the Fair Labor Standards Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo a dismissal for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir.2000), and 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (e)(2), Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir.1998) (order). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Williams’s action because the allegations in his amended complaint did not “contain[ ] enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir.2010) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also U.S. Const, amend. XIII, § 1 (prohibiting involuntarily servitude); Gilbreath v. Cutter Biological, Inc., 931 F.2d 1320, 1324-25 (9th Cir.1991) (discussing economic reality test to consider for determining whether an employer-employee relationship exists).
