Joyce Ann Murrell appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying her request to proceed in forma pauperis. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion, O’Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616 (9th Cir. 1990), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Murrell in forma pauperis status because it appears from the face of the complaint that the action is frivolous. See id. (according broad deference to lower court in reviewing a denial of leave to proceed in forma pauperis).

Murrell’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Murrell’s motions for judicial notice are denied.

AFFIRMED.
