Roy Sudduth v. Ronald Barefield
Roy Sudduth v. Ronald Barefield
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Roy Sudduth appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his action alleging that defendants discriminated against him on the basis of his race, religion, and disability by denying his request for a two bedroom Section 8 public housing voucher. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Gamble v. City of Escondido, 104 F.3d 300, 304 (9th Cir. 1997), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Sudduth’s Fair Housing Act claim because he failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether he qualified for a two bedroom unit, or whether defendants’ proffered legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for denying him the extra bedroom was pretextual. See id. at 305.
The district court properly granted summary judgment on Sudduth’s Americans with Disabilities Act claim because he failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether defendants denied his request for a two bedroom unit “by reason of his disability.” Weinreich v. L.A Cnty. Metro. Transp. Auth., 114 F.3d 976, 978 (9th Cir. 1997).
Sudduth’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
We do not consider Sudduth’s contentions raised for the first time on appeal. *618 See Travelers Prop. Cas. Co. of Am. v. ConocoPhillips Co., 546 F.3d 1142, 1146 (9th Cir. 2008).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
