Frank Nunez GARCIA, AKA Fransisco Nunez Contreras II, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee.
MEMORANDUM **
Arizona state prisoner Frank Nunez Garcia, AKA Fransisco Nunez Contreras II, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various constitutional claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the interpretation and application of § 1915(g). Richey v. Dahne, 807 F.3d 1202, 1206 (9th Cir. 2015). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Garcia’s action because at the time Garcia lodged the complaint, he had brought at least three prior cases that qualified as “strikes,” and he failed to allege that he was “under imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); see also Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1055-57 (9th Cir. 2007) (discussing imminent danger exception).
We do not consider on appeal documents or facts not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990).
AFFIRMED.
