MEMORANDUM **
Gary Hollis, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to state a claim his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that prison officials violated his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Zimmerman v. City of Oakland, 255 F.3d 734, 737 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.
Because Hollis alleged he suffered emotional distress as the result of a correctional officer’s action but did not allege he suffered any physical injury, the district court properly dismissed his complaint. See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(e) (prisoner may not bring federal action for mental or emotional injury without a showing of physical injury).
AFFIRMED.
