against RCN Corporation. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We

review de novo. Hernandez v. Spacelabs Med., Inc., 343 F.3d 1107, 1112 (9th Cir.

2003). We affirm.

        The district court properly granted summary judgment because Laskey failed

to controvert RCN’s evidence that her claims were barred by the applicable statutes

of limitations. See Cal. Civ. Proc. Code § 335.1 (providing a two-year statute of

limitations for personal injury and product liability claims); Cal Civ. Proc. Code

§ 338(b) (providing a three-year statute of limitations for injury to property); Cal.

Civ. Code § 1708.7 (providing a three-year statute of limitations for stalking); Cal.

Civ. Code § 1798.96 (providing a four-year statute of limitations for identity theft).

        We do not consider Laskey’s arguments raised for the first time on appeal.

See Bias v. Moynihan, 508 F.3d 1212, 1223 (9th Cir. 2007).

        Laskey’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

        Laskey’s motion to file a supplemental brief is granted.

        AFFIRMED.
