U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 17-15042
28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915A, Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Draper’s action for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction because Draper failed to establish an injury in fact as required
for Article III standing. See Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Envtl. Servs.
(TOC) Inc., 528 U.S. 167, 180-81 (2000) (outlining elements of Article III
standing, and explaining that the alleged injury must be “actual or imminent, not
conjectural or hypothetical” to establish Article III standing).
We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
Draper’s request for appointment of counsel, set forth in his opening brief, is
denied.
AFFIRMED.
