MEMORANDUM**

2
Robert Dean Endreson, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's sua sponte dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging claims of unfair reclassification and inappropriate parole board proceedings.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.  We review a district court's sua sponte dismissal for abuse of discretion, see Cato v. United States, 70 F.3d 1103, 1106 (9th Cir.1995), and we affirm.

3
We agree with the district court that Endreson's claim regarding his reclassification from minimum to medium security did not have an arguable basis in law because Endreson failed to allege that the reclassification constituted an atypical, significant deprivation.  See Sandin v. Conner, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 2300-02 (1995).  We also agree with the district court that Endreson must exhaust his state remedies before bringing his parole eligibility claim in a habeas petition before a federal court.  See Rose v. Lundy, 455 U.S. 509, 521-22 (1982).  To the extent that Endreson seeks declaratory and injunctive relief for violations of consent decrees, we conclude that Endreson's claim lacks an arguable basis in fact.  See Cato, 70 F.3d at 1106.

4
We deny Endreson's motion to file supplemental excerpts of record.

5
AFFIRMED.
