Federal prisoner Walter Mitchell Stewart, Jr. appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment for failure to exhaust administrative remedies in his action alleging violation of his constitutional rights. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Williams v. Paramo *2 (9th Cir. 2015). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Stewart failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether he properly exhausted his administrative remedies, or whether there was “something in his particular case that made the existing and generally available administrative remedies effectively unavailable to him.” Albino v. Baca (9th Cir. 2014) (en banc); see also Woodford v. Ngo , 548 U.S. 81, 90 (2006) (requiring proper exhaustion, which means “using all steps that the agency holds out, and doing so properly (so that the agency addresses the issues on the merits)” (emphasis, citation, and internal quotation marks omitted)).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Stewart’s motion to file a second amended complaint because amendment would have been futile. See Chappel v. Lab. Corp. of Am. , 232 F.3d 719, 725-26 (9th Cir. 2000) (setting forth standard of review and explaining that “[a] district court acts within its discretion to deny leave to amend when amendment would be futile”).

In light of our disposition, we do not consider the merits of Stewart’s claims. To the extent that Stewart seeks additional relief (Docket Entry No. 11), *3 Stewart’s request is denied.

AFFIRMED.
