MEMORANDUM
Geonni Ordelli appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her action, alleging, among other claims, violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”), 42 U.S.C. § 3604 (a)-(b). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo a sua sponte dismissal for failure to state a claim, Barrett v. Belleque, 544 F.3d 1060, 1061 (9th Cir.2008) (per curiam), and we affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Ordelli’s FHA claim because Ordelli failed to allege facts sufficient to show that defendants engaged in any discriminatory housing practice or treated her differently than her roommates based on her sex or familial status. See 42 U.S.C. § 3604 (a)-(b) (prohibiting discrimination based on sex and familial status by landlords in connection with a dwelling); Gamble v. City of Escondido, 104 F.3d 300, 304 (9th Cir.1997) (applying Title VII discrimination analysis to FHA claims).
We reject Ordelli’s contentions that the district judge was biased against her, and that the district court could have exercised jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 because Ordelli did not sue any state actors. Brice v. Hawaii, 939 F.2d 702 , 707-08 (9th Cir.1991).
