Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Sherilyn Peace Garnett, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted October 15, 2025**

Before: FRIEDLAND, MILLER, and SANCHEZ, Circuit Judges.

* 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). Jonathan Angel Ramos appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing his action alleging federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction

under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal as

frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing as frivolous

Ramos’s action because the complaint contained fanciful factual allegations and

lacked any arguable basis in law or fact. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)

(requiring dismissal of a frivolous complaint filed in forma pauperis); Neitzke v.

Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (explaining that a complaint “is frivolous

where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact,” and “[the] term ‘frivolous’

. . . embraces not only the inarguable legal conclusion, but also the fanciful factual

allegation”).

We reject as unsupported by the record Ramos’s contention that he was

denied due process.

All pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
