28 U.S.C. § 636(c). *** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). dismissing his
42 U.S.C. § 1983action alleging that defendants violated his constitutional rights while he was a pretrial detainee when they opened incoming mail from elected officials and government agencies. We have jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915A and 1915(e)(2). Resnick v. Hayes,
213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000); Barren v. Harrington,
152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Rodriguez’s action because Rodriguez failed to allege facts sufficient to show that he was deprived of a federal or constitutional right. See Mann v. Adams,
846 F.2d 589, 590-91 (9th Cir. 1988) (per curiam) (no constitutional violation where mail from public agencies, public officials, and news media was opened outside inmate’s presence). Rodriguez’s motion for appointment of counsel, set forth in his opening brief, is denied. AFFIRMED. 2 12-15963
