Document:
State prisoner Melvin Turner appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 wrongful confiscation and First Amendment retaliation claims arising from the seizure of his personal property and his administrative segregation. Our review is de novo. Hoeck v. City of Portland, 57 F.3d 781, 784 (9th Cir. 1995); Amberhill Properties v. City of Berkeley, 814 F.2d 1340, 1341 (9th Cir. 1987).
The district court properly dismissed the confiscation claim on the ground that California law provides an adequate post-deprivation remedy. Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 816 (9th Cir. 1994). It properly dismissed without prejudice the administrative segregation retaliation claim for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a). It properly dismissed all the other retaliation claims as based on de minimis inconveniences. Maryland A.C.L.U. v. Wicomico County, 999 F.2d 780, 785, 786 n. 62 (4th Cir. 1993).
