SABA v. LAREAU (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

George A. SABA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Craig R. LAREAU; et al., Defendants-Appellees.

No. 18-56575

Decided: July 22, 2019

Before: SCHROEDER, SILVERMAN, and CLIFTON, Circuit Judges.

George A. Saba, Pro Se

MEMORANDUM **

George A. Saba appeals pro se from the district court's order denying him in forma pauperis status and dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of in forma pauperis status. O'Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616 (9th Cir. 1990). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Saba's in forma pauperis status and dismissing this action for the reasons stated in the November 13, 2018 order.

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
