U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT

FERNANDO GASTELUM, No. 22-55821

Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 5:21-cv-01510-JGB-KK

v.

MEMORANDUM*

KPK HOSPITALITY LLC, an IGH Hotel, DBA Holiday Inn Express Colton - Riverside North,

Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Jesus G. Bernal, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted March 26, 2024**

Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and KOH, Circuit Judges.

Fernando Gastelum appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing his action alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act

(“ADA”) and state law. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). for an abuse of discretion a district court’s dismissal on the basis of its local rules.

Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Gastelum’s

action because Gastelum failed to respond timely to defendants’ motion to dismiss

the second amended complaint after Gastelum had previously failed to respond

timely to defendant’s motion to dismiss the original complaint. See C.D. Cal. R. 7-

12 (“The failure to file any required document, or the failure to file it within the

deadline, may be deemed consent to the granting or denial of the motion . . . .”);

Ghazali, 46 F.3d at 53-54 (discussing factors to be considered before dismissing a

case for failure to follow local rules).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Gastelum’s motion

to set aside the dismissal order because Gastelum failed to demonstrate any basis

for relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d

1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and factors for

reconsideration).

In ruling on defendant’s motion to dismiss Gastelum’s first amended

complaint, the district court properly declined supplemental jurisdiction over

Gastelum’s state law claim but should have dismissed that claim without prejudice.

See Wade v. Reg’l Credit Ass’n, 87 F.3d 1098, 1101 (9th Cir. 1996) (“Where a

district court dismisses a federal claim, leaving only state claims for resolution, it

2 22-55821 should decline jurisdiction over the state claims and dismiss them without

prejudice.”). We affirm the dismissal of the state law claim but instruct the district

court to amend the May 5, 2022 order to reflect that the dismissal of Gastelum’s

state law claim is without prejudice.

AFFIRMED with instructions to amend the dismissal order.
