PATRICK TAKEUCHI, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. JOHN M. MCHUGH, Secretary of the Army *, Defendant-Appellee.
MEMORANDUM**
Patrick Takeuchi appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his Title VII action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Vinieratos v. U.S. Dep't of Air Force Through Aldridge, 939 F.2d 762, 767-68 (9th Cir. 1991). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Takeuchi's Title VII action because Takeuchi failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See id. at 772 (“The law requires an aggrieved federal employee to elect one exclusive administrative remedy and to exhaust whatever remedy he chooses.”).
We do not consider claims raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
