Jose Leon GONZALES-LONGORIA, AKA Jose Leon Gonzalez-Longoria, Petitioner-Appellant, v. Dennis Matthew WONG; et al., Respondents-Appellees.
MEMORANDUM **
Federal prisoner Jose Leon Gonzales-Longoria appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his petition for writ of mandamus. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); Kildare v. Saenz, 325 F.3d 1078, 1082 (9th Cir. 2003) (denial of mandamus); Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) ). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Gonzalez-Longoria’s petition for writ of mandamus because Gonzalez-Longoria failed to show that there was “no other adequate remedy” available. Lowry v. Barnhart, 329 F.3d 1019, 1021 (9th Cir. 2003) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted) (setting forth elements for mandamus relief).
AFFIRMED.
