Case Information
*1 Before: REINHARDT, LEAVY, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.
Debby Genthner appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her action alleging federal and state law claims arising from alleged rapes by a Fresno Police Department officer. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Holcombe v. Hosmer , 477 F.3d 1094, 1097 (9th Cir. 2007) *2 (dismissal on the basis of claim preclusion); Barren v. Harrington , 152 F.3d 1193, 1194 (9th Cir. 1998) (order) (dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii)). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Genthner’s action as barred by claim preclusion because both the instant action and Genthner’s prior action arose from the same primary right. See Migra v. Warren City Sch. Dist. Bd. of Educ. , 465 U.S. 75, 81 (1984) (to determine the preclusive effect of a state court judgment, federal courts look to the law of the state in which the judgment was rendered); Adam Bros. Farming, Inc. v. County of Santa Barbara , 604 F.3d 1142, 1148-49 (9th Cir. 2010) (setting forth elements of claim preclusion under California law and explaining that California’s doctrine of claim preclusion is based on a primary rights theory); Brodheim v. Cry , 584 F.3d 1262, 1268 (9th Cir. 2009) (“If two actions involve the same injury to the plaintiff and the same wrong by the defendant, then the same primary right is at stake even if in the second suit plaintiff pleads different theories of recovery, seeks different forms of relief and/or adds new facts supporting recovery.” (citation, internal quotation marks, and alteration omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
