Antonio Doyle v. Howard Skolnik

MEMORANDUM

Nevada state prisoner Antonio Doyle appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging violations of his federal due process rights and of state law in connection with his placement on an alternative meal program for three days. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, Ramirez v. Galaza, 334 F.3d 850, 853 (9th Cir.2003), and for an abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of the motion to reconsider, Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir.1993). We may affirm on any ground supported by the record. Pritikin v. Dep’t of Energy, 254 F.3d 791 , 796 (9th Cir.2001). We affirm.

The district court properly screened Doyle’s action under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a) (requiring screening of complaints in civil actions “in which a prisoner seeks redress from a governmental entity or officer or employee of a governmental entity”).

Doyle has failed to state a viable procedural due process claim because he has not alleged a deprivation that imposed an “atypical and significant hardship”…
