Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Raimi Shoaga appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his action arising from his shipment of personal goods from Oakland, California to Lagos, Nigeria. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Stewart v. U.S. Bancorp, 297 F.3d 953, 956 (9th Cir.2002) (res judicata); McQuillion v. Schwarzenegger, 369 F.3d 1091, 1096 (9th Cir.2004) (collateral estoppel). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed the action as barred by the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel because Shoaga has already litigated his claims arising out of the shipment of these goods. See Shoaga v. Bolsada, No. C 05-02213 SBA, slip op. at 3 (N.D.Cal. Dec. 11, 2006); see also Stewart, 297 F.3d at 956 (describing elements of res judicata); McQuillion, 369 F.3d at 1096 (describing elements of collateral estoppel).

Shoaga’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Appellees’ requests to strike and for sanctions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
