FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION NOV 30 2018 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT SAMI ALBRA, No. Plaintiff-Appellant, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS 18-16299 D.C. No. 2:18-cv-00018-APG-PAL v. MEMORANDUM* SELENE FINANCE; et al., Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nevada Andrew P. Gordon, District Judge, Presiding Submitted November 27, 2018** Before: CANBY, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges. Sami Albra appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Escobedo v. Applebees, 787 F.3d 1226, 1234 (9th Cir. 2015), and we affirm. * 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). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Albra’s IFP application because Albra failed to make a sufficient showing of indigency. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) (IFP statute); Escobedo, 787 F.3d at 1234 (“[A] plaintiff seeking IFP status must allege poverty with some particularity, definiteness and certainty.” (citation and internal quotation omitted)). AFFIRMED. 2 18-16299
