Before: REINHARDT, TROTT, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
Nevada state prisoner Jorge Trujillo appeals pro se from the district court’s
judgment enforcing the terms of a settlement agreement in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983

enforcement of a settlement agreement. Doi v. Halekulani Corp., 276 F.3d 1131,
1136 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in granting defendants’ motion
to enforce the oral settlement agreement that the parties reached on March 25,
2016, because Trujillo stated that he understood and agreed to the material terms of
the agreement during the settlement conference before a neutral mediator. See id.
at 1136-40 (district court did not abuse its discretion in enforcing settlement
agreement where material terms of agreement were read into the record and parties
agreed to them).
We do not consider Trujillo’s contentions regarding whether the settlement
agreement was breached because the district court did not reach this issue.
AFFIRMED.
