MEMORANDUM

Joseph L. Mizzoni, a Nevada state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging First and Fourteenth Amendment violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the district court’s ruling on cross-motions for summary judgment, Guatay Christian Fellowship v. County of San Diego, 670 F.3d 957, 970 (9th Cir.2011), and we may affirm on any ground supported by the record, Enlow v. Salem-Keizer Yellow Cab Co., 389 F.3d 802, 811 (9th Cir.2004). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Mizzoni’s First Amendment retaliation claim based on his litigation in state court because Mizzoni failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether any defendant took adverse action against him because of his protected conduct. See Rhodes v. Robinson, 408 F.3d 559, 567-68 (9th Cir.2005) (elements of a retaliation claim in the prison context). Summary judgment on Mizzoni’s retaliation claim based on his filing of grievances was proper for the same reason. See id.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Mizzoni’s Fourteenth Amendment due process claim because Mizzoni failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether he suffered an atypical and significant hardship. See Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 483-84 , 115 S.Ct. 2293 , 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995) (states can create liberty interests protected by the Due Process Clause when prison officials impose “atypical and significant hardship on the inmate in relation to the ordinary incidents of prison life”).

We reject Mizzoni’s unsupported claim that the magistrate judge in this case was biased against him.

AFFIRMED.
