Before:         FERNANDEZ, GOULD, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

        David Wayne Wilson, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the

district court’s judgment dismissing with prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action

claiming violations of his due process rights. We have jurisdiction under 28

U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s dismissal of a complaint for

failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443,

447 (9th Cir. 2000), and we affirm.

       The district court properly dismissed Wilson’s complaint because he failed

to allege the violation of any right arising under the United States Constitution or

federal law, as required for a Section 1983 claim. See Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S.

472, 483 (1995). As to Wilson’s substantive due process claim, placement in

administrative segregation does not impose the type of “atypical or significant

hardship on the inmate in relation to the incidents of prison life” to give rise to a

protected liberty interest. Id. at 483-84; see also May v. Baldwin, 109 F.3d 557,

565 (9th Cir. 1997). Nor does Wilson allege facts in support of a procedural due

process claim, which would require lack of notice and opportunity for hearing

preceding the deprivation of life, liberty, or property. See Lone Star Sec. & Video,

Inc. v. City of Los Angeles, 584 F.3d 1232, 1236 (9th Cir. 2009). Wilson failed to

allege a protected interest, and admits that he both received advance notice of the

temporary directive at issue and exercised the opportunity to challenge it.

       AFFIRMED.
