U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 815 (9th Cir.
1994) (per curiam). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Davis’s action because the amended
complaint failed to allege facts suggesting that he suffered an actual injury as a
result of defendants’ alleged actions. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 348
(1996) (explaining that “actual injury” is “actual prejudice with respect to
contemplated or existing litigation, such as the inability to meet a filing deadline or
to present a claim”) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted); see also Miller
v. Yokohama Tire Corp., 358 F.3d 616, 622 (9th Cir. 2004) (“Where the plaintiff
has previously filed an amended complaint . . . the district court’s discretion to
deny leave to amend is particularly broad.”) (citation and internal quotation marks
omitted).
Davis’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
