Rubio Izaguirre v. Greenwood Motor Lines, Inc.

MEMORANDUM

Plaintiff-Appellant Rubio Izaguirre appeals the district court’s decision granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant-Appellee Greenwood Motor Lines, Inc. (“Greenwood”) on his employment discrimination claims. The district court found that Izaguirre had sued the wrong entity because he was actually employed by R & L Carriers Shared Services, LLC (“Shared Services”). It denied his requests to modify the scheduling order and for leave to amend his complaint. It then granted Greenwood’s motion for summary judgment because Izaguirre could not establish that Greenwood and Shared Services should be treated as the same entity.

We review the district court’s denial of requests for leave to amend and to modify the scheduling order for abuse of discretion and review the court’s decision to grant summary judgment de novo. C.F. ex rel. Farnan v. Capistrano Unified Sch. Dist., 654 F.3d 975, 983 (9th Cir.2011), cert. denied sub nom. C.F. v. Corbett, - U.S.-, 132 S.Ct. 1566 , 182 L.Ed.2d 168 (2012). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and we affirm.
