MEMORANDUM**


2
Paul Kay Coronel, a Hawaii state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's summary judgment in favor of defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.   He contends the district court erred when it denied him relief.   We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.   We review de novo, Kruso v. International Tel. & Tel. Corp., 872 F.2d 1416, 1421 (9th Cir.1989), cert. denied, 496 U.S. 937 (1990), and affirm.


3
Coronel contends defendants violated:  his right to practice the religion of his choice under the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000;  his First Amendment right of access to the courts;  and his right to be free from retaliation for exercising his constitutional rights.   We disagree for the reasons stated by the district court.

AFFIRMED.
