MEMORANDUM

Leslie James Gaines, Jr.,, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional claims. 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. Hamilton v. Brown, 630 F.3d 889, 892 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.

The district court properly dismissed Gaines’s deliberate indifference claim because Gaines failed to allege facts sufficient to show that the treatment provided was “medically unacceptable under the circumstances” and chosen “in conscious disregard of an excessive risk” to Gaines’s health. Jackson v. McIntosh, 90 F.3d 330, 332 (9th Cir. 1996) (setting forth elements of a medical deliberate indifference claim).

The district court properly dismissed Gaines’s deprivation of property claim because Gaines failed to allege facts sufficient to show that a meaningful post-deprivation remedy was unavailable to him. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 533, 535 , 104 S.Ct. 3194 , 82 L.Ed.2d 393 (1984) (holding that deprivation of property does not violate due process if a meaningful post-deprivation remedy is available and explaining that state tort actions are meaningful post-deprivation remedies); Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 816-17 (9th Cir. 1994) (“California [l]aw provides an adequate post-deprivation remedy for any property deprivations.”).

The district court properly dismissed Gaines’s conspiracy claim because Gaines failed to allege facts sufficient to show an express or implied agreement among defendants to deprive him of his constitutional rights. See Avalos v. Baca, 596 F.3d 583, 592 (9th Cir. 2010) (setting forth elements of conspiracy claim under § 1983).

The district court dismissed Gaines’s retaliation claim on the ground that Gaines failed to identify specific defendants and failed to allege the nature of the retaliatory behavior. However, Gaines alleged that defendants Curtis, Beasley, Renning, Lopez, and Ward threatened him in retaliation for filing grievances and inmate appeals, which is sufficient to state a retaliation claim. See Rhodes v. Robinson, 408 F.3d 559, 567-68 (9th Cir. 2005) (setting forth elements of a retaliation claim in the prison context). We reverse the district court’s judgment only as to the dismissal of Gaines’s retaliation claim, and remand for further proceedings.

We reject as meritless Gaines’s contentions that the district court failed to screen his complaint in a timely manner.

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).

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
