Before LUCERO, EBEL, and MATHESON, Circuit Judges.


LUCERO, Circuit Judge.

Mohamed Rashed Al-Owhali, an inmate in a federal high-security prison, brought a suit challenging several Special Administrative Measures ("SAMs") imposed upon him. The district court dismissed the suit, finding that Al-Owhali failed to allege plausible facts to support his claims. In light of concessions made by Al-Owhali before argument, we exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm the district court's dismissal.
