MEMORANDUM **
Cheri Smith appeals pro se from the district courts judgment dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the district courts dismissal under its local rules. Hinton v. Pac. Enters., 5 F.3d 391, 395 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Smiths action after Smith failed to file an opposition to defendants’ motions to dismiss as required by Local Rule 7.2(i). See D. Ariz. R. 7.2(i) (providing that failure to file the required answering memoranda to a motion “may be deemed a consent to the ․ granting of the motion”); Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53-54 (9th Cir. 1995) (setting forth factors to be considered before dismissing an action for failure to follow the local rules, concluding that this court may review the record independently if the district court does not make explicit findings regarding the factors, and noting that pro se litigants are bound by the rules of procedure).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Smiths motion to file a second amended complaint because Smith failed to describe how the amendments would cure the deficiencies in the prior complaint, and the proposed amendments did not cure the deficiencies. See D. Ariz. R. 15.1 (providing that the proposed amended pleading “must indicate in what respect it differs from the pleading which it amends”); Cervantes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011) (setting forth standard of review and explaining that dismissal without leave to amend is proper when amendment would be futile).
We reject as meritless Smiths contention that the district court erred by not taking judicial notice of her proposed exhibits.
All pending motions (Docket Entry Nos. 36, 46, 54, and 55) are denied.
Defendants’ request that this court designate Smith a vexatious litigant, set forth in the answering brief, is denied.
AFFIRMED.
