Submitted May 16, 2023**

Before: BENNETT, MILLER, and VANDYKE, Circuit Judges.

Adrienne Renee Perry appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying

her motion for appointment of counsel in her employment action alleging claims

under Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. We have

* 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). jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion.

Bradshaw v. Zoological Soc’y of San Diego, 662 F.2d 1301, 1319 (9th Cir. 1981).

We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Perry’s motion for

appointment of counsel because Perry failed to demonstrate that she made

sufficient efforts to secure counsel or that her claims have merit. See id. (setting

forth factors for court to assess in determining whether to appoint counsel for

actions involving claims under Title VII).

AFFIRMED.
