WILLIAM EASON, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. INDYMAC FEDERAL BANK FSB; et al., Defendants - Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
James A. Teilborg, District Judge, Presiding
Before: WARDLAW, CLIFTON, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
William Eason appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his action arising from foreclosure proceedings. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of a default judgment. Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471 (9th Cir. 1986). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Eason's motion to enter default judgment against two defendants based on the Eitel factors. See id. at 1471-72 (setting forth factors that courts may consider in determining whether to enter default judgment and noting that "default judgments are ordinarily disfavored"); Aldabe v. Aldabe, 616 F.2d 1089, 1092-93 (9th Cir. 1980) (per curiam) (no abuse its discretion in denying motion for default judgment where substantive claims lacked merit).
AFFIRMED.
