   MEMORANDUM

Douglas Gillies appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his adversary proceeding alleging pre-foreclo-sure related claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal on the basis of res judica-ta. Stewart v. U.S. Bancorp, 297 F.3d 953, 956 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Gillies’s action as barred by the doctrine of res judicata because Gillies either raised, or could have raised, his claims in his prior California state and federal court actions, which involved the same primary rights, and the same parties, and resulted in final judgments on the merits. See Gillies v. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 213 Cal.Rptr.3d 210, 216 (2017) (explaining that “[r]es judicata precludes piecemeal litigation by splitting a single cause of action or relitigation of the same cause of action on a different legal theory or for different relief’ (citation omitted)).

Gillies’s motion to take judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 20) is granted.

AFFIRMED.
