Opinion

MEMORANDUM

**

Anselmo A. Chavez appeals pro se the district court’s summary judgment in favor of the Boeing Company in his action claiming employment discrimination and retaliation under Title VII and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a grant of summary judgment and may affirm on any ground supported by the record. Olson v. Morris, 188 F.3d 1083, 1085 (9th Cir.1999). We affirm.

Contrary to Chavez’s contention, this court lacks jurisdiction over the district court’s prefiling order and attorney’s fees order, because Chavez’s notice of appeal was premature and he failed to file a notice of appeal following these orders. See Kennedy v. Applause, Inc., 90 F.3d 1477, 1482-83 (9th Cir.1996).

Because Chavez’s statistical evidence failed to raise a triable issue of pretext, see Rose v. Wells Fargo & Co., 902 F.2d 1417, 1423-24 (9th Cir.1990), and because his conclusory statements are insufficient to refute defendant’s explanations for its employment decisions, see Tarin v. County of Los Angeles, 123 F.3d 1259, 1265 (9th Cir.1997), the district court properly granted summary judgment on his discrimination claims and retaliation claim.

Because Chavez failed to establish extreme and outrageous conduct, the district court properly granted summary judgment on his claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. See Schneider v. TRW, Inc., 938 F.2d 986, 992-93 (9th Cir.1991).

The district properly exercised its discretion by denying Chavez’s motion for additional discovery because he failed to show how additional discovery would preclude summary judgment. See Maljack Productions, Inc. v. GoodTimes Home Video Corp., 81 F.3d 881, 887-88 (9th Cir. 1996).

AFFIRMED.
