Ovitsky v. California Department of Fair Employment & Housing

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Abby Jo Ovitsky appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her action alleging violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and various state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for lack of standing, Canatella v. California, 304 F.3d 843, 852 (9th Cir. 2002), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Ovitsky’s claim for injunctive relief under the ADA because Ovitsky failed to allege a “real and immediate threat of repeated injury in the future.” Chapman v. Pier 1 Imps. (U.S.) Inc., 631 F.3d 939, 946, 949 (9th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted).

We do not consider, matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir. 2009) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
