MEMORANDUM **
The abeyance order previously issued in this case (Docket Entry No. 11) is vacated.
California state prisoner Reno Fuentes Rios appeals pro se from the district courts judgment dismissing his action alleging constitutional claims arising out of parole hearings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii)); Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Rioss claim alleging that Marsys Law violates the Ex Post Facto Clause because this claim is foreclosed by this courts decision in Gilman v. Brown, 814 F.3d 1007 (9th Cir. 2016). See Littlejohn v. United States, 321 F.3d 915, 920-23 (9th Cir. 2003) (setting forth standard of review and requirements for claim preclusion and issue preclusion).
The district court properly dismissed Rioss due process and retaliation claims because Rios failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief. See Swarthout v. Cooke, 562 U.S. 216, 220, 131 S.Ct. 859, 178 L.Ed.2d 732 (2011) (in parole context, due process requires only that a prisoner be provided with an opportunity to be heard and a statement of the reasons why parole was denied); Rhodes v. Robinson, 408 F.3d 559, 567-68 (9th Cir. 2005) (elements of a retaliation claim in the prison context).
We reject as meritless Rioss contentions regarding the magistrate judges jurisdiction and that the district court did not construe his pro se pleadings liberally.
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
We do not consider documents not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990).
AFFIRMED.
