Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Glen M. Winterbottom appeals pro se from the district courts judgment dismissing his action under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1). WildEarth Guardians v. U.S. Dept of Agric., 795 F.3d 1148, 1154 (9th Cir. 2015). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Winterbottoms action for lack of standing because Winterbottom failed to establish that he had suffered or would imminently suffer an injury-in-fact. See Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, ––– U.S. ––––, 136 S. Ct. 1540, 1548, 194 L.Ed.2d 635 (2016) (to satisfy the injury-in-fact requirement, a plaintiff must show that he “suffered an invasion of a legally protected interest that is concrete and particularized and actual or imminent, not conjectural or hypothetical” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Winterbottoms complaint without leave to amend because amendment would have been futile. See 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).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Winterbottoms motions for reconsideration because Winterbottom presented no basis for relief. See Lehman v. United States, 154 F.3d 1010, 1017 (9th Cir. 1998) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60).

AFFIRMED.
