AVIAT AIRCRAFT, INC.; STUART MEMORANDUM*
HORN,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
John A. Mendez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted January 21, 2014**
Before: CANBY, SILVERMAN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
Retired General Charles E. Yeager appeals pro se from the district court’s
summary judgment in his diversity action alleging that defendants violated his
common law right to privacy and other state and federal laws by using his image

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
and a statement concerning him on Aviat Aircraft, Inc.’s website. We have
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Hernandez v. Spacelabs
Med. Inc., 343 F.3d 1107, 1112 (9th Cir. 2003), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because Yeager’s
claims, which arose in 2001 and 2003, were time-barred. See Cal. Bus. & Prof.
Code § 17208 (four-year statute of limitations for unfair business practices claim);
Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 338(a), (d) (three-year state of limitations for actions upon a
liability created by statute or for relief based on fraud or mistake); Yeager v.
Bowlin, 693 F.3d 1076, 1081 (9th Cir. 2012) (two-year statute of limitations for
common law right to privacy and statutory right to publicity under Cal. Civ. Code
§ 3344 claims); Polar Bear Prods., Inc. v. Timex Corp., 384 F.3d 700, 720 n.17
(9th Cir. 2004) (statute of limitations for Lanham Act false endorsement claims
brought under 15 U.S.C. § 1225(a) is borrowed from the most analogous state
law). Because Yeager’s claims are time-barred, we do not consider his arguments
concerning the merits of his claims.
Contrary to Yeager’s contention, the image and statement at issue were not
republished on Aviat’s website. See Yeager, 693 F.3d at 1082 (“[U]nder California
law, a statement on a website is not republished unless the statement itself is
substantively altered or added to, or the website is directed to a new audience.”).
2 11-17910
We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal or in the reply brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir.
2009) (per curiam).
AFFIRMED.
