                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Alaska
                  Timothy M. Burgess, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted June 11, 2019**

Before:      CANBY, GRABER, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.

      David Gary Gladden appeals pro se from the district court’s summary

judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action related to the Federal Aviation

Administration’s (“FAA”) denial of his applications for a second-class airman

medical certificate. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
novo. Gingery v. City of Glendale, 831 F.3d 1222, 1226 (9th Cir. 2016) (district

court’s subject matter jurisdiction); May v. Baldwin, 109 F.3d 557, 560 (9th Cir.

1997) (summary judgment). We affirm.

      The district court properly granted summary judgment on Gladden’s claims

directly challenging the denial of his applications for a second-class airman

medical certificate because it lacked subject matter jurisdiction due to Gladden’s

failure to exhaust his administrative remedies. See 49 U.S.C. § 44703(d)(1), (3)

(denial of an application for an airman certificate may be appealed to the National

Transportation Safety Board (“NTSB”); a person substantially affected by an order

of the NTSB may seek judicial review under 49 U.S.C. § 46110).

      The district court properly granted summary judgment on Gladden’s

constitutional claims challenging the FAA’s practices and procedures because it

lacked subject matter jurisdiction under the collateral attack doctrine. See

Americopters LLC v. FAA, 441 F.3d 726, 736 (9th Cir. 2006) (“The collateral

attack doctrine prevents plaintiffs from crafting constitutional tort claims either as

a means of relitigating the merits of the previous administrative proceedings, or as

a way of evading entirely established administrative procedures.” (citations and

internal quotation marks omitted)).

      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
