Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
David P. Vandament, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), Huftile v. Miccio-Fonseca, 410 F.3d 1136, 1138 (9th Cir.2005), and may affirm on any ground supported by the record, O'Guinn v. Lo-velock Corr. Ctr., 502 F.3d 1056, 1059 (9th Cir.2007). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed without prejudice Vandament's claims based on arrests, searches and seizure. See Harvey v. Waldron, 210 F.3d 1008, 1013 (9th Cir.2000), overruled on other grounds by Wallace v. Kato, 549 U.S. 384, 127 S.Ct. 1091, 166 L.Ed.2d 973 (2007) ("a § 1983 action that would call into question the lawfulness of a plaintiffs conviction or confinement is not cognizable" under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994)). Because amendment would be futile, the district court properly dismissed these claims without leave to amend. See Cato v. United States, 70 F.3d 1103, 1106 (9th Cir.1995). We are not persuaded that any remaining claims are cognizable or could be cured by amendment. See id.
We do not consider arguments raised for the first time on appeal. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir.1999).
AFFIRMED.
