Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (2012). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Felix-Batiz’s action because Felix-
Batiz failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief. See Hebbe
v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (although pro se pleadings are to be
construed liberally, a plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a
plausible claim for relief); see also Starr v. Baca, 652 F.3d 1202, 1207-08 (9th Cir.
2011) (setting forth requirements for supervisory liability under § 1983); Plumeau
v. Sch. Dist. No. 40 Cty. of Yamhill, 130 F.3d 432, 438 (9th Cir. 1997) (setting
forth requirements for municipal liability under § 1983).
We do not consider Felix-Batiz’s outdoor exercise claim because he failed to
replead it in his operative complaint. See Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d
896, 911 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc) (claims dismissed with leave to amend are
waived if not repled).
We do not consider arguments or allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999) (“As a general
rule, we will not consider arguments that are raised for the first time on appeal.”).
AFFIRMED.
