MEMORANDUM*

2
Daryl Harmon, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

3
The district court properly dismissed Harmon's action because his claims necessarily imply the invalidity of his conviction and Harmon has not demonstrated that his conviction has been invalidated.  See Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994); see also Trimble v. City of Santa Rosa, 49 F.3d 583, 585-86 (9th Cir.1995) (writ of habeas corpus is exclusive remedy for an illegal conviction).

4
AFFIRMED.

**
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.  R. 34-4.  Accordingly, Harmon's request for oral argument is denied
