under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Olsen v. Idaho State Bd. of Med.,
363 F.3d 916, 922 (9th Cir. 2004), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Shaw’s due
process claim because it is barred by the applicable statute of limitations, and Shaw
failed to raise a triable issue as to whether he is entitled to equitable tolling based
on his prior state court action. See Canatella v. Van De Kamp, 486 F.3d 1128,
1132-33 (9th Cir. 2007) (§ 1983 claims that were more than one year old as of
January 1, 2003 barred under California’s previous one-year statute of limitations);
Daviton v. Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., 241 F.3d 1131, 1141 (9th Cir. 2001)
(en banc) (equitable tolling during a plaintiff’s prior pursuit of a remedy in a
different forum does not apply to “a claim for a distinct wrong that was not the
basis of the earlier proceeding”).
We do not consider Shaw’s contentions raised for the first time on appeal or
not supported by argument. See Travelers Prop. Cas. Co. of Am. v.
ConocoPhillips Co., 546 F.3d 1142, 1146 (9th Cir. 2008); Hilao v. Estate of
Marcos, 103 F.3d 767, 778 n.4 (9th Cir. 1996).
Shaw’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
