The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a)(2).
Filed November 25, 2008.
Gerard Chang, San Francisco, CA, prose.
Patricia Kruse Gillette, Michelle Rojas, Heller Ehrman LLP, San Francisco, CA, for Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California; Claudia Wilken, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. CV-05-05166-CW.
Before: WALLACE, LEAVY, and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Gerard Chang appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment for his former employer and colleagues in his action raising claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and other federal statutes. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Sengupta v. Morrison-Knudsen Co., Inc., 804 F.2d 1072, 1074 (9th Cir. 1986), and affirm.
Contrary to Chang's contention, the district court's summary judgment did not violate his right to a jury trial. See id. at 1077 n. 3 ("The Constitution only requires that bona fide fact questions be submitted to a jury."); In re Slatkin, 525 F.3d 805, 811 (9th Cir. 2008) ("As the Supreme Court held, over one hundred years ago, a summary judgment proceeding does not deprive the losing party of its Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial").
Chang's remaining contentions are unavailing.
AFFIRMED.
