MEMORANDUM ***

James Singh appeals the district court’s dismissal of his due process suit involving defendant City of Oakland’s lien assessments against his real property, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 , for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Under the Tax Injunction Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1341 , and the decisions in Fair Assessment in Real Estate Ass’n, Inc. v. McNary, 454 U.S. 100 , 102 S.Ct. 177 , 70 L.Ed.2d 271 (1981), and Patel v. City of San Bernardino, 310 F.3d 1138 (9th Cir.2002), federal subject-matter jurisdiction is lacking where, as here, the state provides a “plain, speedy and efficient remedy” for Mr Singh’s due process claim. Lowe v. Washoe County, 627 F.3d 1151, 1155-56 (9th Cir.2010).

AFFIRMED.
