   MEMORANDUM

John Alfred Panzer I appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his action alleging federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8, McHenry v. Renne, 84 F.3d 1172, 1177 (9th Cir. 1996), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Panzer’s action for failure to comply with Rule 8, because the complaint does not contain “a short and plain statement of the claims showing that [Panzer] is entitled to relief.” Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 8(a)(2), (d)(1); McHenry, 84 F.3d at 1174 (affirming dismissal under Rule 8, and recognizing that “[p]rolix, confusing complaints ... impose unfair burdens on litigants and judges”).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Panzer’s complaint without leave to amend because further amendment would be 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).

All pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
