Hidalgo v. Progress Foundation

MEMORANDUM **

Rafael Gonzalez Hidalgo appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of his former employer and supervisors in his employment discrimination action. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Delta Savings Bank v. United States, 265 F.3d 1017, 1021 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Hidalgo’s Title VII claim, holding that Hidalgo failed to file his *891complaint within 90 days of receiving his right-to-sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e — 5(f)(1). Hidalgo failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact that he actually received the right-to-sue letter on March 16, 2002. The district court accorded proper weight to Hidalgo’s statements, in both his form and typewritten complaints, and in his opposition to summary judgment, in determining that Hidal-go’s complaint was untimely filed. See Sicor Ltd. v. Cetus Corp., 51 F.3d 848, 859-60 (9th Cir.1995) (holding that a district court may consider a statement in a complaint as a judicial admission, though if the party that made the admission subsequently provides explanation as to the error, the district court should accord that explanation due weight).

The district court properly held that Hi-dalgo’s breach of contract claim was preempted by Section 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act because resolution of the claim would require reference to, and interpretation of, his collective bargaining agreement. See Cramer v. Consol. Freightways, Inc., 255 F.3d 683, 691 (9th Cir.2001) (en banc).

AFFIRMED.
