MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Weldon Wiggins appeals pro se the district court's sua sponte dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action prior to issuance and service of process pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915 (d). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 .

To the extent Wiggins raised Eighth Amendment claims, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's opinion. To the extent Wiggins raised First Amendment claims, we find them to be constitutionally insubstantial. See Franklin v. Oregon, 662 F.2d 1337, 1342 (9th Cir 1981).
