Doe

We affirm the district court’s judgment and adopt the portions of its opinion, Doe v. Unocal, 27 F.Supp.2d 1174 (C.D.Cal.1998), appearing in the Appendix as our own. See Appendix infra.

See Butcher’s Union Local No. 198 v. SDC Investment, Inc., 788 F.2d 535 , 540 (9th Cir.1986) (citation omitted).

AFFIRMED.
