Chidi Anunka v. Amazon Service Int'l, Inc.

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS JAN 27 2023 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT CHIDI N. ANUNKA, No. 22-35094 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 3:20-cv-06252-BHS v. MEMORANDUM* AMAZON SERVICE INTERNATIONAL, INC., Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington Benjamin H. Settle, District Judge, Presiding Submitted January 18, 2023** Before: GRABER, PAEZ, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges. Chidi N. Anunka appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his action alleging violations of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Shelley v. Geren, 666 F.3d. 599, 604 (9th Cir. 2012). 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 properly granted summary judgment on Anunka’s ADEA claims because Anunka failed to exhaust his administrative remedies. See 29 U.S.C. § 626(d)(1) (ADEA plaintiff must file a timely charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission before commencing a civil action). We do not consider claims that Anunka failed to allege in his complaint. See Pickern v. Pier 1 Imports (U.S.), Inc., 457 F.3d 963, 969 (9th Cir. 2006) (affirming summary judgment where the complaint did not give fair notice of the factual basis for a claim raised for the first time in opposition to summary judgment). We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). Anunka’s motion for relief (Docket Entry No. 16) is denied. AFFIRMED. 2 22-35094
