John SHEK, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, REGION 32; California Nurses Association C.H.E.U., Defendants-Appellees, 486 F. App'x 668

MEMORANDUM John Shek appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing for lack of subject matter jurisdiction his action challenging the decision of the National Labor Relations Board Regional Director to dismiss Shek’s unfair labor practice charge. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Amerco v. NLRB, 458 F.3d 883, 886 (9th Cir.2006). We affirm. The district court properly dismissed Shek’s action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because the Regional Director’s decision to dismiss Shek’s unfair labor practice charge is not properly subject to judicial review.

See Int’l Ass’n of Machinists & Aerospace Workers v. Lubbers, 681 F.2d 598, 602 (9th Cir.1982) (section 3(

d) of the Labor Management Relations Act has been construed to preclude review of the General Counsel’s initial charging decisions). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Shek’s requests for leave to amend his complaint because amendment would have been futile. See Allwaste, Inc. v. Hecht, 65 F.3d 1523, 1530 (9th Cir.1995) (setting forth standard of review and explaining that a district court does not abuse its discretion to deny leave to amend where it “could reasonably conclude that further amendment would be futile”). Shek’s pending motions are denied. AFFIRMED.

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
