MEMORANDUM **
Willie Fred Brady, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the judgment of the district court dismissing sua sponte his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act screening provisions. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A; 42 U.S.C.1997e(c)(l). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and review de novo, Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order). We affirm in part, vacate in part, and remand.
The district court properly determined that Brady did not state a claim against the various prison officials involved in handling Brady’s grievances against correction officer Ohelert. See Taylor v. List, 880 F.2d 1040, 1045 (9th Cir.1989); see also Mann v. Adams, 855 F.2d 639, 640 (9th Cir.1988) (order) (holding no constitutional right to grievance process). The district court also properly determined that the complaint did not state a claim for violation of the right of access to the courts against correction officers Punía and Munro because Brady did not allege that he suffered any actual injury as a result of the alleged failure of Punla and Munro to log Brady’s legal mail. See Lewis v. Casey,…
