Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 447 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Carpenter’s action because Carpenter
failed to allege facts sufficient to show that a meaningful post-deprivation remedy
was unavailable to him. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 532-33 (1984) (a
random and unauthorized deprivation of property is not actionable if the state
provides a meaningful post-deprivation remedy); Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813,
816-17 (9th Cir. 1994) (“California [l]aw provides an adequate post-
deprivation remedy for any property deprivations.”).
We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
AFFIRMED.
