Edward Lazar v. County of Los Angeles

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Edward P. Lazar appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his action alleging violations of his constitutional rights. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Hearns v. San Bernardino Police Dep’t, 530 F.3d 1124, 1129 (9th Cir. 2008), and we affirm.

Because the district court properly concluded that Lazar’s complaint failed to meet the pleading standards under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, and Lazar failed to amend the complaint after obtaining leave to do so, dismissal of the complaint with prejudice was not an abuse of discretion. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(l)-(3) (stating pleading requirements); Hearns, 530 F.3d at 1129-31 (discussing factors to determine whether initial dismissal under Rule 8 was proper and whether subsequent dismissal for failure to amend was an abuse of discretion).

AFFIRMED.
