MEMORANDUM **
Joseph Cerny, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment for defendants in Cerny’s action alleging disability discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo, Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir.1994) (per curiam), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Cerny’s damages claims because “few things implicate the validity of continued confinement more directly than the allegedly improper denial of parole.” Butterfield v. Bail, 120 F.3d 1023, 1024 (9th Cir.1997). Because dismissals under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487 , 114 S.Ct. 2364 , 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994), are without prejudice to renewal, we construe the district court’s judgment as a dismissal without prejudice. See Trimble v. City of Santa Rosa, 49 F.3d 583, 585 (9th Cir.1995) (per curiam).
The district court properly considered and granted summary judgment on Cerny’s claims for declaratory and injunctive relief. See Bogovich v. Sandoval, 189 F.3d 999, 1003 (9th Cir.1999).
