   MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Glenn David O’Neal appeals pro se from the district court’s dismissal order and summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging excessive force and access-to-courts claims arising from his pretrial detention. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Lemire v. Cal. Dep’t of Corr. & Rehab., 726 F.3d 1062, 1074 (9th Cir. 2013) (summary judgment); Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir. 2010) (dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6)). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on O’Neal’s excessive force claim against defendant Smith because O’Neal failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether Smith’s actions were objectively unreasonable under the circumstances. See Kingsley v. Hendrickson, — U.S. -, 135 S.Ct. 2466, 2473, 192 L.Ed.2d 416 (2015) (setting forth standard for an excessive force claim under the Fourteenth Amendment).

The district court properly dismissed O’Neal’s access-to-courts claim against defendant San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department because O’Neal failed to allege facts sufficient to show actual injury to a nonfrivolous legal claim. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 349-53, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996) (setting forth elements of an access-to-courts claim and actual injury requirement); Simmons v. Sacramento Cty. Superior Court, 318 F.3d 1156, 1160 (9th Cir. 2003) (discussing standard for restrictions placed on pretrial detainees).

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
