ALBRA v. SELENE FINANCE (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Sami ALBRA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. SELENE FINANCE; et al., Defendants-Appellees.

No. 18-16299

Decided: November 30, 2018

Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.

Sami Albra, Las Vegas, NV, for Plaintiff-Appellant Ace C. Van Patten, Attorney, Tiffany & Bosco, P.A., Las Vegas, NV, for Defendants-Appellees

MEMORANDUM **

Sami Albra appeals pro se from the district court's order denying his application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Escobedo v. Applebees, 787 F.3d 1226, 1234 (9th Cir. 2015), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Albra's IFP application because Albra failed to make a sufficient showing of indigency. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (IFP statute); Escobedo, 787 F.3d at 1234 (“[A] plaintiff seeking IFP status must allege poverty with some particularity, definiteness and certainty.” (citation and internal quotation omitted) ).

AFFIRMED.
