We 16 assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, 17 the procedural history, and the issues presented for review. 18 19 We conclude that Dattner’s appeal is without merit 20 substantially for the reasons articulated by the district 21 court in its well-reasoned decision. We have considered all 22 of Dattner’s remaining arguments and find them to be without 23 merit. 24 25 For the foregoing reasons, we hereby AFFIRM the 26 judgment of the district court. 27 28 29 FOR THE COURT: 30 CATHERINE O’HAGAN WOLFE, CLERK 31 2
