Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Randy Jaquez appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his safety. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Toguchi v. Chung, 391 F.3d 1051, 1056 (9th Cir.2004), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Jaquez's action was time-barred, as all claims accrued more than four years before Jaquez filed his complaint. See Cal.Civ.Proc.Code § 335.1, 352.1(a) (California has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims; the limitations period may be tolled for an additional two years for prisoners); Knox v. Davis, 260 F.3d 1009, 1012-13 (9th Cir.2001) (§ 1983 actions are governed by the forum state's statute of limitations; a claim accrues when the plaintiff knows or has reason to know of the injury which is the basis of the action; continuing impact from past violations does not cause a claim to accrue anew).
The district court properly denied Ja-quez's motion to amend because the deficiencies in his complaint could not be cured by amendment. See Lucas v. Dep't of Corr., 66 F.3d 245, 248 (9th Cir.1995) (dismissal of a pro se complaint without leave to amend is proper if the deficiencies in the complaint cannot be cured by amendment).
We do not consider matters raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir.2009) (per curiam).
AFFIRMED.
