MEMORANDUM **
Craig Soroudi appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment against him in his action in which he claimed that he was entitled to recover upon an insurance policy for injuries he allegedly sustained in an alleged fall in an airport at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 1 We affirm and grant sanctions.
(1) Soroudi asserted a breach of contract. We have reviewed the record, and it is clear beyond peradventure that Soroudi did not present admissible evidence to demonstrate that he was entitled to recover for the alleged injuries, if any there were, from an alleged fall in Rio de Janeiro, if he had one.

Bank of Am., NT & SA, 285 F.3d 764, 772 (9th Cir.2002). Indeed, Soroudi never even submitted a proper proof of claim to Pan-Am. See Nager v. Allstate Ins. Co., 83 Cal.App.4th 284, 290-91 , 99 Cal.Rptr.2d 348, 352-53 (2000); Globe Indem. Co. v. Superior Court, 6…
