Villegas

MEMORANDUM **

Eleazar Villegas, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of the defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging, among other things, that prison officials at Salinas Valley State Prison were deliberately indifferent to his safety by failing to house him with a non-gang member. Villegas also appeals the district court’s denial of class certification, and dismissal of claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. We review de novo. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir.2000) (Section 1915A dismissals); Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir.1994) (per curiam) (summary judgment). We affirm.

The district court properly denied class certification because Villegas, a non-attorney representing himself, cannot represent others. See Cato v. United States, 70 F.3d 1103 ,1105 n. 1 (9th Cir.1995).

Dismissal of Villegas’ claim against High Desert State Prison was proper because Villegas failed to exhaust his administra- *929 five remedies. See McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199-1200 (9th Cir.2002) (per curiam).

Dismissal of Villegas’ deliberate indifference to medical needs, due process, and retaliation claims…
