Submitted February 21, 2012**

unauthorized deductions from his inmate trust account for payment of his court
filing fees violated his due process rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291. We review de novo, Nelson v. Heiss, 271 F.3d 891, 893 (9th Cir. 2001),
and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Jacobs’s action because Jacobs had an
adequate post-deprivation remedy under California law. See Hudson v. Palmer,
468 U.S. 517, 533 (1984) (“[A]n unauthorized intentional deprivation of property
by a state employee does not constitute a violation of the procedural requirements
of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment if a meaningful
postdeprivation remedy for the loss is available.”); Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813,
816-17 (9th Cir. 1994) (per curiam) (“California [l]aw provides an adequate
post-deprivation remedy for any property deprivations.” (citing Cal. Gov’t Code
§§ 810-895)).
Jacobs’s request for judicial notice is denied.
Jacobs’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
