2 20-56079
Puri v. Khalsa, 844 F.3d 1152, 1157 (9th Cir. 2017) (dismissal under Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6)); Mpoyo v. Litton Electro-Optical Sys., 430 F.3d 985,
987 (9th Cir. 2005) (dismissal on the basis of res judicata). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Javaheri’s action as barred by the
doctrine of res judicata because Javaheri’s claims were raised, or could have been
raised, in his prior federal action, which involved parties in privity, and resulted in
a final judgment on the merits. See id. at 987-88 (elements of federal res judicata;
claims are identical if they arise from the same transactional nucleus of facts).
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).
AFFIRMED.
