MEMORANDUM**


2
Oregon state prisoner Alvin Howard Canell appeals pro se the district court's grant of summary judgment to prison officials at the Oregon State Penitentiary.  Canell contends that the indigent mail policies of the Oregon Department of Corrections ("DOC") deny him meaningful access to the courts and his equal protection and free speech rights.  We affirm.


3
The district court properly granted the prison officials summary judgment on Canell's meaningful access claims because Canell did not demonstrate actual injury arising from the DOC policies.   See Lewis v. Casey, 116 S.Ct. 2174, 2179 (1996) (requiring actual injury in access-to-court cases);   Sands v. Lewis, 886 F.2d 1166, 1171 (9th Cir.1989).  Additionally, Canell failed to provide evidence of intentional discrimination as required for his equal protection challenge to the policies.   See Sischo-Nownejad v. Merced Community College Dist., 934 F.2d 1104, 1112 (9th Cir.1991) (to prove equal protection violation, prisoner must demonstrate intentional discrimination).  Finally, we will not address Canell's free speech claim because he did not raise it as a claim for relief in the district court.   See United States v. Johnson, 988 F.2d 941, 945 (9th Cir.1993).
