MEMORANDUM **

John Faulkner appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to amend his complaint following a previous remand. Faulkner v. ADT Sec. Servs., Inc., 706 F.3d 1017 (9th Cir. 2013). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend as futile. The newly alleged claim does not relate back to the original complaint under Rule 15(c)(1)(B) because it arises out of a different series of phone calls than the calls alleged in the original complaint. See Oja v. U.S. Army Corps of Eng’rs, 440 F.3d 1122, 1134-35 (9th Cir. 2006) (holding that a Privacy Act claim premised on a different disclosure of personal information did not relate back to the original complaint). As the district court correctly ruled, amendment would be futile because the new claim would be barred by the statute of limitations. Deutsch v. Turner Corp., 324 F.3d 692, 718 n. 20 (9th Cir. 2003) (amendment is futile if the claim will be barred by the statute of limitations).

AFFIRMED.
