*1 Before: SILVERMAN, WATFORD, and BENNETT, Circuit Judges.
Martin Moreno Ruiz appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Carolina Cas. Ins. Co. v. Team Equip., Inc. , 741 F.3d 1082, 1086 (9th Cir. 2014). We affirm.
*2 The district court properly dismissed Ruiz’s action because Ruiz failed to satisfy his burden of establishing subject matter jurisdiction. See Ashoff v. City of Ukiah , 130 F.3d 409, 410 (9th Cir. 1997) (the plaintiff has the burden of establishing subject matter jurisdiction); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3) ( “ If the court determines at any time that it lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the court must dismiss the action. ” ); Valdez v. Allstate Ins. Co. , 372 F.3d 1115, 1116 (9th Cir. 2004) (the court is obligated to consider sua sponte whether it has subject matter jurisdiction).
AFFIRMED.
