Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Charlie W. Pyle appeals pro se from the district court's judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have juris diction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative remedies and for clear error any underlying factual findings. Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1117 (9th Cir.2003). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Pyle's action without prejudice because Pyle failed properly to exhaust his administrative remedies before filing suit and failed to demonstrate that administrative remedies were effectively unavailable. See Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 93-95, 126 S.Ct. 2378, 165 L.Ed.2d 368 (2006) (holding that "proper exhaustion" is mandatory and requires adherence to administrative procedural rules); Sapp v. Kimbrell, 623 F.3d 813, 826 (9th Cir.2010) (concluding that administrative remedies are "available" where administrative appeals are properly screened and that an inmate who failed to follow specific instructions on how to appeal had no reasonable good faith belief that administrative remedies were effectively unavailable).
Pyle's other arguments were raised for the first time on appeal and we do not consider them. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir.1999).
Pyle's request for judicial notice is denied.
AFFIRMED.
