U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT DEAN ALLEN STEEVES, No. 22-56219

Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 3:22-cv-00931-WQH-DDL v.

MEMORANDUM* UNITED STATES INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE,

Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of California

William Q. Hayes, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted March 26, 2024** Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and KOH, Circuit Judges.

Dean Allen Steeves appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction his action seeking to void notices of intent to levy issued by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Dexter v. Colvin, 731 F.3d 977, 980 (9th

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). Cir. 2013). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Steeves’s action as barred by the Anti- Injunction Act (“the Act”) because it is an attempt to restrain the IRS’s tax assessment and collection activities, and no exception applies. See 26 U.S.C. § 7421(a) (listing statutory exceptions); Elias v. Connett, 908 F.2d 521, 523, 525 (9th Cir. 1990) (explaining that the district court “must dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction any suit that does not fall within one of the exceptions to the Act” and setting forth limited judicial exception).

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).

Steeves’s motion to correct a typo in the reply brief (Docket Entry No. 25) is granted. All other pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
