Walker v. United States
Walker v. United States
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Willie Hugh Walker, Jr., appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action challenging the denial of his claim for disability benefits. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Staacke v. U.S. Sec’y of Labor, 841 F.2d 278, 280 n. 1 (9th Cir. 1988), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Walker’s remaining claims under the doctrine of res judicata because Walker raised those claims in a prior federal action that was adjudicated on the merits. See Holcombe v. Hosmer, 477 F.3d 1094, 1097 (9th Cir. 2007) (“Under res judicata, a final judgment on the merits of an action precludes the parties or their privies from relitigating issues that were or could have been raised in that action.”).
Walker’s remaining contentions lack merit.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
