MEMORANDUM**


2
Plaintiff Leon Smith appeals from the district court's dismissal of his civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.   We affirm.


3
Smith has failed to present any meritorious arguments on this appeal.   Smith did not adequately raise before the district court the arguments contained in his informal brief.   Accordingly, we decline to consider them.   Partington v. Gedan, 880 F.2d 116, 130 (9th Cir.1989), vacated on other grounds, 110 S.Ct. 3265 (1990).
