Case Information

*1 Before: TASHIMA, SILVERMAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Roy Warden appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging various claims in connection with his attempts to speak in a public park. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review *2 for an abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for leave to amend, AmerisourceBergen Corp. v. Dialysist West, Inc. , 465 F.3d 946, 949 (9th Cir. 2006), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Warden’s motions for leave to amend his First Amendment claim alleging that he had been denied entry into a park and threatened with arrest because the record demonstrates that Warden had unduly delayed the litigation and acted in bad faith, and Warden’s proposed amendments would prejudice defendants. See id. at 951 (setting forth factors that a district court may consider in deciding whether to grant motion for leave to amend); see also De Saracho v. Custom Food Mach., Inc. , 206 F.3d 874, 878 (9th Cir. 2000) (“Where the party seeking amendment knows or should know of the facts upon which the proposed amendment is based but fails to include them in the original complaint, the motion to amend may be denied.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

Warden waived his right to appeal the magistrate judge’s orders staying a scheduling conference and discovery because Warden failed to file timely objections to these orders. See Simpson v. Lear Astronics Corp. , 77 F.3d 1170, 1174 (9th Cir. 1996) (“[A] party who fails to file timely objections to a magistrate judge’s nondispositive order with the district judge to whom the case is assigned *3 forfeits its right to appellate review of that order.”).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, including the dismissal of the action. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Warden’s request for reassignment, set forth in his reply brief, is denied. AFFIRMED.

[*] 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).
