MEMORANDUM**


2
Louis Butler O'Neal appeals the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that a prison guard attempted to kill him.   On appeal, he contends he was denied due process because the Los Angeles Superior Court allegedly lost or destroyed portions of the transcript of his criminal trial.   The issue O'Neal raises on appeal was not raised in the district court;  thus, this court may not consider it.   See Great Southwest Life Ins. Co. v. Frazier, 860 F.2d 896, 904 (9th Cir.1988).   Moreover, O'Neal has not raised on appeal the issue of attempted murder by a prison guard that he raised below.   Accordingly, that issue has been abandoned.   See Wilcox v. Commissioner, 848 F.2d 1007, 1008 n. 2 (9th Cir.1988).   For these reasons, the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
