Walker v. Thompson , 53 F. App'x 433 ( 2002 )

MEMORANDUM ^**

David Earl Walker, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging excessive force, due process violations, and assault and battery. 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.

The district court properly determined that Walker failed to state a claim because he failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing suit. See Booth v. Churner, 532 U.S. 731, 734, 121 S.Ct. 1819, 149 L.Ed.2d 958 (2001).

AFFIRMED.
