   MEMORANDUM

Washington state prisoner Sidney D. Jenkins, III, appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims arising out of defendant’s rejection of a package containing religious prayer oil. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Shakur v. Schriro, 514 F.3d 878, 883 (9th Cir.2008), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Jenkins’ First Amendment claims regarding the prison’s practice of returning packages from unapproved religious vendors, without providing prisoners with an opportunity to select the method of disposal. The district court properly concluded the practice was a reasonable restriction on his free exercise rights. See Turner v. Safley, 482 U.S. 78, 89, 107 S.Ct. 2254, 96 L.Ed.2d 64 (1987) (“[W]hen a prison regulation impinges on inmates’ constitutional rights, the regulation is valid if it is reasonably related to legitimate penological interests.”); O’Lone v. Estate of Shabazz, 482 U.S. 342, 350-53, 107 S.Ct. 2400, 96 L.Ed.2d 282 (1987) (prison’s regulation prohibiting return of prisoners to the prison during the day was a reasonable restriction under Turner and did not violate Muslim prisoners’ free exercise rights, despite the fact they were prevented from attending a weekly religious service).

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Jenkins’ equal protection claim because Jenkins failed to raise a triable dispute as to whether Meyer acted with an intent or purpose to discriminate against him on the basis of his race or religion. See Furnace v. Sullivan, 705 F.3d 1021, 1030 (9th Cir.2013) (“To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment a plaintiff must show that the defendants acted with an intent or purpose to discriminate against the plaintiff based upon membership in a protected class.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

AFFIRMED.
