MEMORANDUM **
Sylvester James Mahone, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging prison officials violated his constitutional rights by placing him in modified conditions of confinement. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo the district court’s summary judgment, Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, 1128 (9th Cir.1998). We review for abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of Mahone’s motions for class certification, leave to amend, discovery orders and for appointment of counsel. Staton v. Boeing Co., 327 F.3d 938, 953 (9th Cir.2003) (class certification); Rand v. Rowland, 113 F.3d 1520, 1525 (9th Cir.1997) (appointment of counsel); Blackburn v. United States, 100 F.3d 1426, 1436 (9th Cir.1996) (discovery orders); Zivkovic v. So. Calif. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1086 (9th Cir.2002) (leave to amend). We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Mahone’s access to the courts claim because Mahone did not allege actual injury. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 357 , 116 S.Ct. 2174 , 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996).
