MEMORANDUM **

Juanita Arroyo appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment and order dismissing ten defendants in her civil rights action, which alleged discrimination and violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”), 29 U.S.C. § 2601 et seq.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Arroyo’s discrimination claims because she failed to provide evidence in opposition to summary judgment to support her allegations. See Smolen v. Deloitte, Haskins & Sells, 921 F.2d 959, 963 (9th Cir.1990) (requiring some evidence establishing each element of a claim on which plaintiff would bear the burden of proof at trial).

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Arroyo’s FMLA claims because she failed to provide evidence that the two oldest claims were not time-barred and that she had worked sufficient hours in the previous twelve months to qualify for FMLA leave for her remaining claims. See 29 U.S.C. § 2617 (c); Bachelder v. Am. W. Airlines, Inc., 259 F.3d 1112 , 1119 n. 2 (9th Cir.2001).
