dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Hebbe v. Pliler, 627
F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir. 2010). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Smith’s action because Smith failed to
allege facts sufficient to state any plausible claims, even after Smith was given
opportunities to amend his complaint. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678
(2009) (to avoid dismissal, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter,
accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face); see also
Crumpton v. Gates, 947 F.2d 1418, 1420 (9th Cir. 1991) (setting forth elements of
a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983); Grimmett v. Brown, 75 F.3d 506, 510 (9th Cir.
1996) (setting forth elements of a civil RICO claim); Fobbs v. Holy Cross Health
Sys. Corp., 29 F.3d 1439, 1447 (9th Cir. 1994) (Title VI requirements).
We reject as without merit Smith’s contention that he was entitled to default
judgment against defendants Gennai and Funk.
AFFIRMED.
