   MEMORANDUM

Sidney Elgere Lambus, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to state a claim his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging inadequate living conditions in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir.2000). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the action because Lambus failed to allege sufficient facts to show that defendants had the culpable state of mind necessary to find an Eighth Amendment violation. See Wilson v. Seiter, 501 U.S. 294, 299-300, 111 S.Ct. 2321, 115 L.Ed.2d 271 (1991).

Lambus’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Lambus’s motion for qui tam is denied.

AFFIRMED.
