Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Todd Brewer Weeks, a Hawaii state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging due process violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court's dismissal of a complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(A) for failure to state a claim. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir.2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Weeks's due process claim because Hawaii law does not create a liberty interest in the state's furlough program. See Olim v. Wakinekona, 461 U.S. 238, 249, 103 S.Ct. 1741, 75 L.Ed.2d 813 (1983); Haw.Rev. Stat. § 353-17.
We will not consider Weeks's other claims because they are raised for the first time on appeal. See Int'l Union of Bricklayers & Allied Craftsman Local Union No. 20 v. Martin Jaska, Inc., 752 F.2d 1401, 1404 (9th Cir.1985).
Weeks's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
