Ralph A. Merten, Plaintiff-appellant, v. National American Railroad Passenger Corp., Defendant-appellee, 78 F.3d 594 (9th Cir. 1996)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 78 F.3d 594 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted Feb. 27, 1996. *Decided March 5, 1996

Before: PREGERSON, CANBY and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Ralph A. Merten appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his employment discrimination action. We conclude summary judgment for Amtrak was proper because Merten failed to provide any significant, probative evidence of age discrimination; and the district court did not err by denying Merten's request to amend his complaint. See Wallis v. J.R. Simplot Co., 26 F.3d 885, 892 (9th Cir. 1994); Schlacter-Jones v. General Tel., 936 F.2d 435, 439 (9th Cir. 1991).

AFFIRMED.
