Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Oregon state prisoner Bobby Shane Charlton appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing for failure to exhaust administrative remedies his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action alleging an Eighth Amendment claim arising out of allegedly inadequate medical care. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's legal conclusions on exhaustion and for clear error its factual determinations. Albino v. Baca, 747 F.3d 1162, 1171 (9th Cir. 2014) (en banc). We may affirm on any basis supported by the record. Johnson v. Riverside Healthcare Sys., LP, 534 F.3d 1116, 1121 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.
Dismissal of Charlton's Eighth Amendment claim against defendant Lytle was proper because, even assuming that Charl-ton appealed the 2009 grievance to the first level, Charlton did not properly exhaust his appeal through the final level as required by the prison's administrative grievance process, and did not show that administrative remedies were effectively unavailable to him. See Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 90, 126 S.Ct. 2378, 165 L.Ed.2d 368 (2006) ("[Pjroper exhaustion of administrative remedies . means using all steps that the agency holds out, and doing so properly (so that the agency addresses the issues on the merits)." (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); Sapp v. Kimbrell, 623 F.3d 813, 823-24, 826-27 (9th Cir. 2010) (describing limited circumstances under which exhaustion may be excused).
Charlton contends that, although he was provided notice under Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc), in connection with defendants' initial motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust, the district court erred when it did not provide him with a renewed notice in connection with defendants' supplemental motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust. However, the record shows that Charlton was already aware of and understood the requirements for responding to a motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust. See Stratton v. Buck, 697 F.3d 1004, 1009 (9th Cir. 2012) ("The failure to provide the required notice will be harmless . where judicial notice of district court records establishes that the pro se prisoner plaintiff recently received a proper notice in a previous action or where the pro se prisoner plaintiffs response to the motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies establishes that the plaintiff has a complete understanding of the [required notice].").
We reject as without merit Charlton's contentions that the district court erred by allowing defendants to file the supplemental motion to dismiss, that the supplemental motion to dismiss was time-barred, and that the district court was prejudiced against him.
We do not consider arguments raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
All pending motions are denied.
AFFIRMED.
