   MEMORANDUM

Michael E. Spreadbury appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims arising from his prosecution for misdemeanor criminal assault related to an ongoing dispute with two neighbors. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), Barren v. Hamngton, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir.1998) (order), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Spreadbury’s § 1983 damages claims against the prosecutors and intern involved in his prosecution, and the judge who presided over his trial, based on pros-ecutorial immunity, prosecutorial discretion, and judicial immunity. See Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U.S. 409, 430, 96 S.Ct. 984, 47 L.Ed.2d 128 (1976) (prosecutors absolutely immune for conduct “intimately associated” with the judicial phase of the criminal process); Nunes v. Ramirez-Palmer, 485 F.3d 432, 441 (9th Cir.2007) (prosecutors allowed some selectivity in prosecutions); Simmons v. Sacramento Cnty. Superior Court, 318 F.3d 1156, 1161 (9th Cir.2003) (judges absolutely immune for their judicial acts).

The district court properly dismissed Spreadbury’s § 1983 injunctive relief claims against prosecutors for ongoing or imminent prosecutions due to abstention under Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 91 S.Ct. 746, 27 L.Ed.2d 669 (1971). See Gilbertson v. Albright, 381 F.3d 965, 968, 973 (9th Cir.2004) (en banc) (federal courts should abstain if granting injunctive relief would interfere with pending state judicial proceedings).

The district court properly dismissed Spreadbury’s equal protection claims because he failed to allege that defendants treated him differently from others who were similarly situated without a rational basis, see N. Pacifica LLC v. City of Pacifica, 526 F.3d 478, 486 (9th Cir.2008), or intentionally discriminated against him based on his membership in a protected class, see Thornton v. City of St. Helens, 425 F.3d 1158, 1166 (9th Cir.2005).

The district court properly dismissed Spreadbury’s First Amendment claims because defendants’ failure to record all of Spreadbury’s pre-arrest statements did not abridge his free speech, and their failure to file his recall petition did not render his state court remedies ineffective. See U.S. Const. amend I; Delew v. Wagner, 143 F.3d 1219, 1222-23 (9th Cir.1998) (elements of right-to-petition claim).

The district court properly dismissed Spreadbury’s Fourth Amendment claims because an attempted arrest or an arrest based on a facially valid warrant is insufficient for such a claim. See Brendlin v. California, 551 U.S. 249, 254, 127 S.Ct. 2400, 168 L.Ed.2d 132 (2007) (Fourth Amendment triggered by actual arrest); Baker v. McCollan, 443 U.S. 137, 144, 99 S.Ct. 2689, 61 L.Ed.2d 433 (1979) (no constitutional violation for arrest based on facially valid warrant).

We do not consider issues raised for the first time on appeal. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir.1999).

Spreadbury’s remaining contentions, including those concerning alleged judicial bias and as to state law claims over which the district court declined to exercise supplemental jurisdiction, are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
