Helen Horvath v. Anthony Toney

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Anthony Toney appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion to vacate the default judgment entered against him in a breach of contract action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Brandt v. Am. Bankers Ins. Co. of Fla., 653 F.3d 1108, 1110 (9th Cir. 2011). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Toney’s motion to vacate the default judgment because Toney failed to show that such relief was warranted. See Am. Ass’n of Naturopathic Physicians v. Hayhurst, 227 F.3d 1104, 1108 (9th Cir. 2000) (setting forth factors to apply when considering a motion to vacate a default judgment, any of which are sufficient to deny the motion).

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).

Plaintiffs request for judicial notice, set forth in her answering brief, is denied.

AFFIRMED.
