*1 Before: THOMAS, Chief Judge, and SILVERMAN and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.

James Earl Brown, a disbarred California attorney, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment in his action alleging federal and state law claims arising from his former law practice. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We *2 review de novo a dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). Kneivel v. ESPN , 393 F.3d 1068, 1072 (9th Cir. 2005). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Brown’s action because Brown failed to allege facts sufficient to state any plausible claim. See Hebbe v. Pliler , 627 F.3d 338, 341-42 (9th Cir. 2010) (although pro se pleadings are to be construed liberally, a plaintiff must present factual allegations sufficient to state a plausible claim for relief).

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

All pending requests and motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
