Docket

*1 Before: SCHROEDER, RAWLINSON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

Oregon state prisoner Jason Joseph Kelemen appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging false imprisonment in connection with his probation revocation. We have jurisdiction *2 under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Pouncil v. Tilton , 704 F.3d 568, 574 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal as time-barred); Wilhelm v. Rotman , 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A); Watison v. Carter , 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii)). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Kelemen’s action as time-barred because Kelemen failed to file the action within the applicable statute of limitations. See Douglas v. Noelle , 567 F.3d 1103, 1109 (9th Cir. 2009) (explaining that the statute of limitations for § 1983 actions is the state law statute of limitations for personal injury actions, and that the applicable Oregon statute of limitations is two years). We reject as meritless Keleme n’s contention that he is entitled to equitable tolling. See Kobold v. Good Samaritan Reg’l Med. Ctr. , 832 F.3d 1024, 1048 (9th Cir. 2016) (explaining that equitable tolling is used sparingly in Oregon).

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).

State appellees’ motion (Docket Entry No. 26) for judicial notice is granted. AFFIRMED.
