Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner David S. Perry-man appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court's dismissal for failure to exhaust administrative remedies and for clear error its factual determinations, Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1117 (9th Cir.2003), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Perryman's action because Perryman did not properly exhaust administrative remedies. See Woodford v. Ngo, 548 U.S. 81, 85, 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). The district court did not clearly err in finding that Perryman's submission of a grievance to the captain did not exhaust Perryman's administrative remedies. See Marella v. Terhune, 568 F.3d 1024, 1027 (9th Cir.2009) (noting that prisoners must "complete the administrative review process in accordance with the applicable procedural rules") (quoting Woodford, 548 U.S. at 88, 126 S.Ct. 2378).
We do not consider matters not distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir.2009) (per curiam).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
