KAMLESH BANGA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 2:08-cv-01518-MCE-EFB MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California
Morrison C. England, Jr., District Judge, Presiding Before: GOULD, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Kamlesh Banga appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing her action alleging, among other things, violations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and California's Unfair Competition Law ("UCL"). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We affirm.
Banga has waived her appeal of the dismissal of her UCL claim because she did not object to the magistrate judge's recommendation to construe her UCL claim narrowly, and affirmatively requested, in her opposition to Allstate Insurance Company's objections to the magistrate's findings and recommendation, that the district court adopt the recommendation without any qualification or reservation. See Loher v. Thomas, 825 F.3d 1103, 1121 (9th Cir. 2016) (setting forth the standard for finding a waiver of the right to review on appeal and finding that a party's failure to object to the magistrate judge's findings and recommendation and its affirmative invitation to adopt the recommendation constituted a waiver of an issue on appeal).
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Banga's request made in the Fourth Amended Complaint that she be permitted to proceed on the UCL claim based on the unfair and fraudulent prongs because the entire UCL claim had already been dismissed and Banga failed to provide any explanation for why leave to amend should have been granted. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a); Westlands Water Dist. v. Firebaugh Canal, 10 F.3d 667, 677 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and holding that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying leave to amend where appellants gave no indication of a desire to seek leave to amend until after the district court rendered its decision dismissing the claim).
AFFIRMED.
