VILLALTA v. HOLDER

No. 12-17579.

SELOMI M. VILLALTA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. ERIC H. HOLDER, Jr., Attorney General; et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

Filed March 20, 2015.


NOT FOR PUBLICATION

MEMORANDUM*

Selomi M. Villalta appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his action alleging that the government breached an immigration-related class action settlement agreement (the "ABC agreement"). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir. 2010). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Villalta's claims because the complaint and attached exhibits failed to show that defendants breached the ABC agreement or violated the United States Constitution. See id. at 341-42 (although pro se pleadings are liberally construed, a plaintiff must allege sufficient facts to state a plausible claim); Nat'l Ass'n for the Advancement of Psychoanalysis v. Cal. Bd. of Psychology, 228 F.3d 1043, 1049 (9th Cir. 2000) (in determining whether a complaint states a claim for relief, a court may consider facts contained in documents attached to the complaint); Am. Baptist Churches v. Thornburgh, 760 F.Supp. 796 (N.D. Cal. 1991) (the ABC agreement).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Villalta's motion for leave to file an amended complaint because the proposed amendment was untimely and would have been futile. See AmerisourceBergen Corp. v. Dialysist W., Inc., 465 F.3d 946, 949, 951 (9th Cir. 2006) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for denying leave to amend).

AFFIRMED.
