Opinion

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS NOV 16 2020 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ANTHONY OLIVER, No. 18-56306 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 2:18-cv-02562-VAP- AFM v. JAMIE MICHELLE LUNER; DOES, 1-10, MEMORANDUM* inclusive, Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Virginia A. Phillips, District Judge, Presiding Submitted November 9, 2020** Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, TASHIMA and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Anthony Oliver appeals pro se from the district court’s post-judgment order declaring him a vexatious litigant and requiring pre-filing review. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion.

Ringgold-Lockhart v. County of Los Angeles, 761 F.3d 1057, 1062 (9th Cir. 2014).

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by declaring Oliver a vexatious litigant and entering a pre-filing review order against him because all of the requirements for entering a pre-filing review order were met. See id. at 1062 (setting forth requirements for pre-filing review orders).

To the extent Oliver challenges the underlying judgment dismissing his action, we do not consider his contentions because they are outside the scope of this appeal.

We reject as without merit Oliver’s contentions that the district court later amended the vexatious litigant order to add a bond requirement, that the district court lacked authority to enter the vexatious litigant order sua sponte, and that Oliver was entitled to a hearing.

AFFIRMED.
