Before: TALLMAN, M. SMITH, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
John Patrick Kelly, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district

dismissal on the basis of qualified immunity. Kwai Fun Wong v. United States,
373 F.3d 952, 966 n.18 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Kelly’s action because defendant is
entitled to qualified immunity with respect to Kelly’s claim that defendant’s
conduct violated Kelly’s Eighth Amendment rights. See Pearson v. Callahan, 555
U.S. 223, 232 (2009) (defendant is entitled to qualified immunity unless the
conduct at issue violated a clearly established constitutional right).
We do not consider matters neither developed in the district court nor
specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v.
Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).
AFFIRMED.
