judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional violations in
connection with his prison employment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291. We affirm.
Little forfeited his opportunity to appeal the denial of his motions to amend
because he did not file any objections to the magistrate judge’s orders. See
Bastidas v. Chappell, 791 F.3d 1155, 1159 (9th Cir. 2015) (“[A] party who fails to
file timely objections to a magistrate judge’s nondispositive order with the district
judge to whom the case is assigned forfeits its right to appellate review of that
order.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); see also Anderson v.
Woodcreek Venture Ltd., 351 F.3d 911, 917 (9th Cir. 2003) (motion for leave to
amend a complaint is a nondispositive order).
Because we affirm, Little’s request to order reassignment to a different judge
on remand, set forth in his replacement opening brief, is denied.
Little’s request to dismiss the portions of his appeal addressing entry of
summary judgment (Docket Entry No. 60) is granted.
Little’s request for oral argument (Docket Entry No. 60) is denied.
AFFIRMED.
