PETER STROJNIK, Sr., No. 20-55162

Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 8:19-cv-00946-DSF-GJS

v. MEMORANDUM* ORANGEWOOD LLC, DBA DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Anaheim Resort Convention Center,

Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Dale S. Fischer, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted November 9, 2020**

Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, TASHIMA and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges.

Peter Strojnik, Sr. appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing his action alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act

(“ADA”) and state law. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review

* 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). de novo a district court’s dismissal for lack of standing. D’Lil v. Best W. Encina

Lodge & Suites, 538 F.3d 1031, 1035 (9th Cir. 2008). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Strojnik’s ADA claim for lack of

Article III standing because Strojnik failed to allege that the ADA barriers he

identified affected him because of his disabilities. See Chapman v. Pier 1 Imports

(U.S.), Inc., 631 F.3d 939, 953 (9th Cir. 2011) (en banc) (an ADA plaintiff lacks

standing “if the barriers he seeks to enjoin do not pose a real and immediate threat

to him due to his particular disability”).

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).

AFFIRMED.
