Before: FERNANDEZ, FRIEDLAND, and H.A. THOMAS, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Ismael Villarreal appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to comply with the pleading requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 and for failure to state a claim. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo.

Wilhelm v. Rotman, 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal under U.S.C. § 1915A); Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Villarreal’s action because Villarreal failed to allege the bases for his claims and failed to allege facts sufficient to state a plausible claim. See Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (although pro se pleadings are construed liberally, a plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief).

Villarreal’s miscellaneous motion (Docket Entry No. 3) is denied as unnecessary.

AFFIRMED.
