Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Otis D. Wright, II, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted September 17, 2025**

Before: SILVERMAN, OWENS, and BRESS, Circuit Judges.

Ivan Rene Moore appeals pro se from the district court’s post-judgment

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Moore’s request for oral argument, set forth in his opening brief, is denied. order rejecting his submissions pursuant to a vexatious litigant pre-filing review

order. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of

discretion. In re Fillbach, 223 F.3d 1089, 1090 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by rejecting Moore’s

submissions because the proposed filings were within the scope of the district

court’s pre-filing order, and Moore did not comply with the order’s requirements.

See West v. Procunier, 452 F.2d 645, 646 (9th Cir. 1971) (concluding that an order

refusing to authorize the filing of a complaint was a “proper exercise of the district

court's authority to effectuate compliance with its earlier order”).

A prior panel of this court affirmed the district court’s imposition of the pre-

filing review order, and we will not reconsider that decision. See Moore v. Wells

Fargo Bank, N.A., 749 F. App’x 624, 625 (9th Cir. 2019); see also S. Or. Barter

Fair v. Jackson County, 372 F.3d 1128, 1136 (9th Cir. 2004) (“The law of the case

doctrine . . . precludes a court from reexamining an issue previously decided by the

same court . . . .”).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued

in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Moore’s motion (Docket Entry No. 7) for judicial notice is granted.

AFFIRMED.
