NOT FOR PUBLICATION
MEMORANDUM
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
Morrison C. England, District Judge, Presiding
Before: SILVERMAN, W. FLETCHER, and MURGUIA, Circuit Judges.
Eugene E. Isaacson appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his action alleging a conspiracy by defendants to have his vessel, the Gray Finn, seized and impounded. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, and may affirm on any basis supported by the record. Corrie v. Caterpillar, Inc., 503 F.3d 974, 979 (9th Cir. 2007). We affirm.
Dismissal of the action was proper because the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel bar Isaacson's claims given that he had previously litigated claims arising out of the seizure and impounding of his vessel in California state court. See Manufactured Home Cmtys., Inc. v. City of San Jose, 420 F.3d 1022, 1031 (9th Cir. 2005) (describing res judicata under California law); Hydranautics v. FilmTec Corp., 204 F.3d 880, 885 (9th Cir. 2000) (describing collateral estoppel under California law).
Isaacson's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
