NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS MAR 19 2021 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT ALLEN HAMMLER, No. 19-56263 Plaintiff-Appellant, D.C. No. 2:19-cv-02831-JGB-SP v. MEMORANDUM* DEJINEY JONES; D. UMPHENOUR, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Jesus G. Bernal, District Judge, Presiding Submitted March 16, 2021** Before: GRABER, R. NELSON, and HUNSAKER, Circuit Judges. California state prisoner Allen Hammler appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his
42 U.S.C. § 1983action alleging various constitutional violations for failure to pay the filing fee or apply for in forma pauperis status. We have jurisdiction under
28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. * 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). James v. Madison Street Jail,
122 F.3d 27, 27 n.1 (9th Cir. 1997). We affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Hammler’s action because Hammler failed to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee by the deadline set by the district court. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)-(b); Taylor v. Delatoore,
281 F.3d 844, 847 (9th Cir. 2002) (explaining that, under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”), all prisoners who file IFP civil actions must pay the filing fee as laid out in
28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)); Page v. Torrey,
201 F.3d 1136, 1139 (9th Cir. 2000) (the PLRA “imposes specific filing requirements on prisoners seeking to file civil actions in forma pauperis” and that these include a submission of “a certified copy of their prisoner trust account statement for the previous six months. . . .”). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hammler’s motion for reconsideration because Hammler failed to establish any basis for relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc.,
5 F.3d 1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for reconsideration under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e)). We do not consider arguments or allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright,
587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). AFFIRMED. 2 19-56263
