PIERO A. BUGONI, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. GOOGLE, INC.; MICROSOFT CORPORATION; YAHOO! INC., Defendants-Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California D.C. No. 4:20-cv-02883-HSG Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr., District Judge, Presiding
Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Piero A. Bugoni appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his action alleging violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and defamation against search engine operators. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). Watison v. Carter, 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Bugoni's action because defendants have immunity for publishing third party content under the Communications Decency Act. See 47 U.S.C. § 230(c); Zango, Inc. v. KasperskyLab, Inc., 568 F.3d 1169, 1174 (9th Cir. 2009) (affirming dismissal of action for injunctive relief where the defendant "is a provider of an 'interactive computer service' as defined in the Communications Decency Act of 1996").
AFFIRMED.
