MEMORANDUM

Lorena Meyer appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her employment action alleging various federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo a dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), Hebbe v. Pliler, 627 F.3d 338, 341 (9th Cir.2010), and we affirm.

Civish, 382 F.3d 969, 973 (9th Cir.2004) (conclusory allegations, unwarranted deductions, or unreasonable inferences need not be accepted as true); see also, e.g., Pinnacle Armor, Inc. v. United States, 648 F.3d 708, 716 (9th Cir.2011) (elements of due process claim); Thornton v. City of St. Helens, 425 F.3d 1158, 1166-67 (9th Cir.2005) (elements of equal protection claim); Parks Sch. of Bus., Inc. v. Symington, 51 F.3d 1480, 1487 (9th Cir.1995) (elements of 42 U.S.C. § 1981 claim); Miller v. Maxwell’s Int’l Inc., 991 F.2d 583, 587…
