NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED NOV 20 2017 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JENNAFER YELLOWHORSE, Plaintiff-Appellant, No. U.S. COURT OF APPEALS 17-15688 D.C. No. 3:16-cv-08093-DJH v. MEMORANDUM* KAYENTA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT; et al., Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Diane J. Humetewa, District Judge, Presiding Submitted November 15, 2017** Before: CANBY, TROTT, and GRABER, Circuit Judges. Jennafer Yellowhorse appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing for failure to state a claim her action alleging various federal claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). Barren v. Harrington, 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). (9th Cir. 1998) (order). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Yellowhorse’s action because Yellowhorse failed to allege facts sufficient to state any plausible claims. See Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (“[A] complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). AFFIRMED. 2 17-15688
