US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 78 F.3d 594 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted Feb. 27, 1996. *Decided March 4, 1996

Before: PREGERSON, CANBY, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM^**

Anthony Scopellite appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his action against defendants over a lease dispute at Tucson International Airport. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion, Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992), and affirm.

Scopellite contends the district court erred when it dismissed his action for failure to state a federal claim and lack of diversity jurisdiction. We disagree for the reasons stated by the district court.

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4
