   MEMORANDUM

Lindsey K. Springer appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendant in his diversity action alleging breach of contract. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a grant of summary judgment, Jesinger v. Nev. Fed. Credit Union, 24 F.3d 1127, 1130 (9th Cir.1994), and we affirm.

Because Springer failed to demonstrate that a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether he complied with the terms of the reward offer, the district court properly granted summary judgment. See United States ex rel. Anderson v. Northern Telecom, Inc., 52 F.3d 810, 815 (1995); Bennett v. Carlen, 213 Cal.App.2d 307, 28 Cal.Rptr. 647, 649 (Cal.Ct.App.1963) (holding that, where a condition precedent to obligation to perform has never been fulfilled, there can be no breach of contract).

Contrary to Springer’s contention, the district court properly denied his motion to compel discovery because Springer failed to show how his discovery request would preclude summary judgment. See Hall v. Hawaii, 791 F.2d 759, 761 (9th Cir.1986).

AFFIRMED.
