Ocasio v. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Ocasio v. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, 10 F. App'x 471 (9th Cir. 2001)

Ocasio v. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department

Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM2

Alexander Ocasio appeals pro se the summary judgment of the district court in his employment discrimination action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

We review summary judgment de novo. Baker v. Liberty Mutual Ins. Co., 143 F.3d 1260, 1263 (9th Cir. 1998). Because Ocasio failed to respond to defendant’s requests for admissions, the district court properly deemed the matters admitted pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 36(a) and, in the absence of any disputed issues of material fact, properly granted summary judgment. See O’Campo v. Hardisty, 262 F.2d 621, 623-24 (9th Cir. 1958) (affirming summary judgment based on unanswered requests for admissions).

AFFIRMED.
