California state law. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We
review de novo dismissal for failure to state a claim, and can affirm on any basis
fairly supported by the record. Vestar Development II, LLC v. General Dynamics
Corp., 249 F.3d 958, 960 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.
Dismissal of Rizzi’s equal protection claim was proper because there is a
“reasonably conceivable state of facts that could provide a rational basis for”
defendants’ subsidized housing classification scheme. Heller vs. Doe by Doe, 509
U.S. 312, 320 (1993); see also Roth v. Garcia Marquez, 942 F.2d 617, 625 n.1 (9th
Cir. 1991) (“[I]f a complaint is accompanied by attached documents, the court is
not limited by the allegations contained in the complaint.”) (internal quotation
marks and brackets omitted).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Rizzi’s
supplemental state law claim once it had granted judgment on the federal claim.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3); Moore v. Kayport Package Express, Inc., 885 F.2d
531, 537 (9th Cir. 1989).
Rizzi’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
