Submitted July 17, 2012 **
Before: LEAVY, THOMAS, and SILVERMAN, Circuit Judges.
Doyle C. Barnett appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment
dismissing his action arising from the disclosure of his financial information. We
have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for

failure to state a claim, and for an abuse of discretion the denial of a motion to alter
or amend judgment. Zimmerman v. City of Oakland, 255 F.3d 734, 737 (9th Cir.
2001). We affirm.
The district court properly dismissed Barnett’s claims because there is no
private right of action under the statutes that defendant was alleged to have
violated when it disclosed Barnett’s financial information without a warrant, a
subpoena, or his consent. See 15 U.S.C. §§ 6801, 6805; Nev. Rev. Stat. 239A.190;
Gardner v. Martino, 563 F.3d 981, 990, 992 (9th Cir. 2009) (no abuse of discretion
in denying leave to amend where amendment would be futile).
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Barnett’s motion to
alter or amend judgment because he failed to establish grounds for such relief. See
Zimmerman, 255 F.3d at 740 (affirming denial of Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion
absent a showing that there was newly discovered evidence, an intervening change
in controlling law, clear error, or manifest injustice).
Barnett’s remaining contentions, including those regarding alleged due
process violations, are unpersuasive.
Issues listed in Barnett’s opening brief that are not supported by argument,
including with respect to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, are deemed abandoned.
See Am. Int’l Enters., Inc. v. FDIC, 3 F.3d 1263, 1266 (9th Cir. 1993).

Barnett’s request for judicial notice is granted.
AFFIRMED.
