Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Patrick A. Bockari appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging claims related to his bank account. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, Cr um v. Circus Circus Enters., 231 F.3d 1129, 1130 (9th Cir. 2000), and we affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Bockari’s action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because Bockari failed to allege facts sufficient to show any violation of federal law or diversity of citizenship. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332(a); Kuntz v. Lamar Corp., 385 F.3d 1177, 1181-83 (9th Cir. 2004) (addressing diversity of citizenship under § 1332); Yokeno v. Mafnas, 973 F.2d 803, 807-08 (9th Cir. 1992) (analyzing whether plaintiffs complaint presented a “substantial federal question”).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing without leave to amend Bockari’s second amended complaint after notifying Bockari of the deficiencies in his pleadings and affording him two opportunities to amend. See Chodos v. West Publ’g Co., 292 F.3d 992, 1003 (9th Cir. 2002) (setting forth standard of review and stating “when a district court has already granted a plaintiff leave to amend, its discretion' in deciding subsequent motions to amend is particularly broad” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

AFFIRMED.
