MEMORANDUM **

Edward Goldwater, a pre-trial detainee confined in the Maricopa County Jail Complex in Phoenix, Arizona, appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the district court’s dismissal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir.2000), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Goldwater’s third *492 amended complaint with prejudice because further amendment would have been futile. See Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1130-31 (9th Cir.2000) (en banc).

Goldwater’s remaining contentions are rejected.

AFFIRMED.
