* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. Submitted April 17, 2019**

Before: McKEOWN, BYBEE, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.

Former federal prisoner David Thomas Rhodes appeals pro se from the

district court’s summary judgment in his action brought under Bivens v. Six

Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971),

alleging claims stemming from the calculation of his release date. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Guatay Christian

Fellowship v. County of San Diego, 670 F.3d 957, 970 (9th Cir. 2011) (cross-

motions for summary judgment); Boschetto v. Hansing, 539 F.3d 1011, 1015 (9th

Cir. 2008) (dismissal for lack of personal jurisdiction). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed nonresident defendants Watts and

Johnson for lack of personal jurisdiction because Rhodes failed to allege facts

sufficient to establish that Watts or Johnson have continuous and systematic

contacts with Arizona to establish general jurisdiction or sufficient minimum

contacts with Arizona to provide the court with specific personal jurisdiction over

either defendant. See Boschetto, 539 F.3d at 1015-16 (specific jurisdiction);

Schwarzenegger v. Fred Martin Motor Co., 374 F.3d 797, 801 (9th Cir. 2004)

(general jurisdiction).

** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

2 18-15957 The district court properly granted summary judgment on Rhodes’s claims

against defendant Chavez because Rhodes failed to raise a genuine dispute of

material fact as to whether Chavez personally participated in the alleged

miscalculation, or whether there was a sufficient causal connection between

Chavez’s conduct and Rhodes’s injury. See Starr v. Baca, 652 F.3d 1202, 1206-08

(9th Cir. 2011) (explaining that “a Bivens action is the federal analog to an action

against state or local officials under [42 U.S.C.] § 1983” and discussing the

requirements for establishing supervisory liability).

AFFIRMED.
