   MEMORANDUM

Plaintiffs-Appellants Alfred Lam, Gregory Chin, Frank Chen, and Paula Leiato (collectively “Appellants”) — all of Asian-Pacific American (“APA”) race and/or descent — appeal two of the district court’s evidentiary decisions, as well as its grant of summary judgment to the City and County of San Francisco (hereafter the “City”), on Appellants’ action alleging racially-motivated workplace discrimination in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, California Government Code section 12940, and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2(a)(1), 2000e-3(a). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion when it considered the declarations of five previously undisclosed City witnesses. See Estate of Barabin v. AstenJohnson, Inc., 740 F.3d 457, 462 (9th Cir.2014) (en banc). Four of the five declarants merely authenticated documents already in the record. The City’s nondisclosure of these witnesses was harmless. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(c)(1); Beauperthuy v. 24 Hour Fitness USA, Inc., 772 F.Supp.2d 1111, 1120 (N.D.Cal.2011). The City’s failure to disclose the fifth contested declarant — who did provide substantive testimony — was harmless because (1) his testimony was cumulative, and (2) the relevant claim was time-barred.

Similarly, the magistrate judge did not abuse her discretion when she denied Appellants’ request to compel further testimony from the City’s Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 30(b)(6) deponent. See Quinn v. Anvil Corp., 620 F.3d 1005, 1015 (9th Cir.2010). Nor was the district court’s implicit affirmation of that order “ ‘clearly erroneous or contrary to law.’ ” Osband v. Woodford, 290 F.3d 1036, 1041 (9th Cir.2002) (quoting 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A)). Appellants contend that the City’s deponent did not provide specific information regarding disciplinary actions taken against San Francisco Juvenile Probation Department (“JPD”) employees from 2005-2011. But this argument ignores that the City ultimately handed over all available records outlining the number and types of disciplinary actions and the ethnicity of the employees involved.

Many of Appellants’ discrimination claims are time-barred. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(Z) (setting a 300-day limitations period for Title VII claims); Bonneau v. Centennial Sch. Dist. No. 28J, 666 F.3d 577, 579 (9th Cir.2012) (“[A] state’s residual personal injury statute of limitations ... should be applied to § 1983 claims____”); see also Cal.Civ.Proc.Code § 335.1 (establishing a two-year statute of limitations in California for civil actions for “injury to ... an individual caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another”). We review those that are timely under the familiar burden-shifting framework set forth in McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973).

We assume without deciding that Appellants’ timely claims establish a prima facie case of discrimination. See Hawn v. Exec. Jet Mgmt., Inc., 615 F.3d 1151, 1156 (9th Cir.2010); Guz v. Bechtel Nat’l, Inc., 24 Cal.4th 317, 100 Cal.Rptr.2d 352, 8 P.3d 1089, 1113-14 (2000). But we conclude, as did the district court, that Appellants have not raised a triable issue of material fact as to whether the City’s proffered nondiscriminatory reasons for its promotion and disciplinary practices were a “mere pretext for unlawful discrimination.” Hawn, 615 F.3d at 1155; see also Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Prods., Inc., 530 U.S. 133, 142-43, 120 S.Ct. 2097, 147 L.Ed.2d 105 (2000). Stated another way, Appellants have offered neither direct evidence of a discriminatory motive, nor “specific and substantial” circumstantial evidence of pretext. Earl v. Nielsen Media Research, Inc., 658 F.3d 1108, 1112-13 (9th Cir.2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). Because Appellants’ “subjective belief that the challenged employment action was unnecessary or unwarranted” is not sufficient to create a genuine issue of material fact, see Cornwell v. Electra Cent. Credit Union, 439 F.3d 1018, 1028-29 n. 6 (9th Cir.2006), the district court properly granted summary judgment to the City on the Title VII claims. Here, there was a failure of proof from Appellants on the key issue of pretext.

The same is true on the 42 U.S.C. § 1983 equal protection claims, for which Appellants offered the same evidence as on their Title VII disparate treatment claims. See St. Mary’s Honor Ctr. v. Hicks, 509 U.S. 502, 506 n. 1, 113 S.Ct. 2742, 125 L.Ed.2d 407 (1993); Surrell v. Cal. Water Serv. Co., 518 F.3d 1097, 1103 (9th Cir.2008). Finally, because California Government Code section 12940 tracks federal law under Title VII, see Cook v. Lindsay Olive Growers, 911 F.2d 233, 241 (9th Cir.1990) (citing Mixon v. Fair Emp’t & Hous. Comm’n, 192 Cal.App.3d 1306, 1316, 237 Cal.Rptr. 884 (1987)), the district court properly granted summary judgment to the City on Appellants’ state law claim.

AFFIRMED. 
      
       This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
     
      
      . Appellants did not brief their harassment and retaliation claims on appeal; those claims are therefore waived. See Hall v. City of L.A., 697 F.3d 1059, 1071 (9th Cir.2012).
