MEMORANDUM

Rickey B. Reed appeals pro se the district court’s judgment dismissing his diversity action alleging breach of implied-in-fact contract and other state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a district court’s dismissal for failure to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 250 F.3d 668, 679 (9th Cir. 2001). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Reed’s implied-in-fact contract claim because Reed failed to allege facts sufficient to show that defendants “voluntarily accepted [Reed’s proposal] knowing the conditions on which it was tendered and the reasonable value of the work.” Grosso v. Miramax Film Corp., 383 F.3d 965, 967 (9th Cir. 2004) (setting forth the elements of a claim under Desny v. Wilder, 46 Cal.2d 715, 299 P.2d 257 (1956), for a breach of implied-in-fact contract when an idea is furnished by one party to another).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Reed’s motions seeking to supplement the record (Docket Entry Nos. 21-23) are denied.

AFFIRMED.
