Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California Oliver W. Wanger, District Judge, Presiding D.C. No. 1:09-cv-01668-OWW-SMS.
Before: SCHROEDER, ALARCÓN, and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Mitsue Takahashi appeals pro se from the district court's order dismissing her employment action on statute of limitations and res judicata grounds. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Manufactured Home Cmtys. Inc. v. City of San Jose, 420 F.3d 1022, 1025 (9th Cir. 2005). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Takahashi's claims under Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act ("ADEA") as time-barred. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) (at most 300-day time limit for filing an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") charge under Title VII); 29 U.S.C. § 626(d) (same for ADEA); Santa Maria v. Pac. Bell, 202 F.3d 1170, 1176 (9th Cir. 2000) ("[F]ailure to file an EEOC charge within the prescribed 300-day period . . . is treated as a violation of a statute of limitations[.]"), overruled on other grounds by Socop-Gonzalez v. I.N.S., 272 F.3d 1176, 1194-96 (9th Cir. 2001) (en banc). Moreover, the district court properly determined that Takahashi's Title VII and ADEA claims were also barred by res judicata. See Kay v. City of Rancho Palos Verdes, 504 F.3d 803, 808 (9th Cir. 2007) (stating requirements for res judicata under California law).
Takahashi's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
