Submitted December 8, 2022** Before: WALLACE, TALLMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

John M. Hummasti appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging freedom of speech, freedom of travel, and due process claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e). Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Hummasti’s action because Hummasti failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible violation of his constitutional rights. See Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (noting that although pro se pleadings are to be construed liberally, a plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief); L.W. v. Grubbs, 974 F.2d 119, 120 (9th Cir. 1992) (stating that § 1983 claims must be asserted against state actors).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hummasti’s motion for reconsideration because Hummasti set forth no valid grounds for reconsideration. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for reconsideration under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59 and 60).

AFFIRMED.
