MEMORANDUM*
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of California
Phyllis J. Hamilton, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted September 13, 2010**
Before: SILVERMAN, CALLAHAN, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Theron N. Lynch, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district
court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the abstract
of judgment for his sentence is incorrect and requires him to serve his full
sentence. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo.

Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed the action as Heck-barred because a
judgment in Lynch’s favor “would necessarily imply the invalidity of his . . .
sentence,” and Lynch has not demonstrated that his sentence has already been
invalidated. Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 487 (1994).
AFFIRMED.
