    U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
    PATRICK A. BOCKARI,                             No.    17-15019

    MEMORANDUM*
    JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.,
    Defendant-Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Eastern District of California
    John A. Mendez, District Judge, Presiding
    Submitted August 9, 2017**
    Before:      SCHROEDER, TASHIMA, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
    Patrick A. Bockari appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment
    dismissing his action alleging claims related to his bank account. We have
    jurisdiction under 
    28 U.S.C. § 1291
    . We review de novo a dismissal for lack of
    subject matter jurisdiction, Crum v. Circus Circus Enters., 
    231 F.3d 1129
    , 1130
    *
    This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
    except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
    **
    The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    (9th Cir. 2000), and we affirm.
    The district court properly dismissed Bockari’s action for lack of subject
    matter jurisdiction because Bockari failed to allege facts sufficient to show any
    violation of federal law or diversity of citizenship. See 
    28 U.S.C. §§ 1331
    ,
    1332(a); Kuntz v. Lamar Corp., 
    385 F.3d 1177
    , 1181-83 (9th Cir. 2004)
    (addressing diversity of citizenship under § 1332); Yokeno v. Mafnas, 
    973 F.2d 803
    , 807-08 (9th Cir. 1992) (analyzing whether plaintiff’s complaint presented a
    “substantial federal question”).
    The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing without leave to
    amend Bockari’s second amended complaint after notifying Bockari of the
    deficiencies in his pleadings and affording him two opportunities to amend. See
    Chodos v. West Publ’g Co., 
    292 F.3d 992
    , 1003 (9th Cir. 2002) (setting forth
    standard of review and stating “when a district court has already granted a plaintiff
    leave to amend, its discretion in deciding subsequent motions to amend is
    particularly broad” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
    AFFIRMED.
