Strowski v. City of Downey
Strowski v. City of Downey
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Steven G. Strowski appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to state a claim, and order requiring Strowski to obtain approval before filing future actions in the district court. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the dismissal. Kildare v. Saenz, 325 F.3d 1078, 1085 (9th Cir. 2003). We review for abuse of discretion the imposition of a pre-filing order. Molski v. Evergreen Dynasty Corp., 500 F.3d 1047, 1056-57 (9th Cir. 2007) (per curiam). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Strowski’s action because he failed to show that he was denied a constitutionally protected due process interest. See Kildare, 325 F.3d at 1085 (“Procedural due process claims require [ ] a deprivation of a constitutionally protected liberty or property interest[.]”).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing a pre-filing review order after giving Strowski notice and an opportunity to be heard, developing a record for review, making findings of harassment, and narrowly tailoring the remedy. See Molski, 500 F.3d at 1057 (explaining
Strowski’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
