Sam SOHN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., Defendant-Appellee, 700 F. App'x 713

MEMORANDUM Sam Sohn appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment enforcing the terms of a settlement agreement in her action alleging federal and state claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s enforcement of a settlement agreement. Doi v. Halekulani Corp., 276 F.3d 1131, 1136 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in granting defendant’s motion to enforce the settlement agreement because the settlement demand constituted a valid settlement agreement when Wells Fargo accepted it and Sohn provides no basis, to rescind the settlement agreement unilaterally. See Facebook, Inc. v. Pac. Nw.

Software, Inc., 640 F.3d 1034, 1038 (9th Cir. 2011) (“[A] contract that omits terms ... [that affect the value of the bargain] is enforceable under California law, so long as the terms it does include are sufficiently definite for a court to determine whether a breach has occurred, order specific performance or award damages.”); Huens v. Tatum, 52 Cal.App.4th 259, 60 Cal.Rptr.2d 438, 442 (1997) (“To set ... aside [a settlement], one must present contractual grounds for rescission-fraud, mutual mistake, coercion, etc.”); see also Jeff D. v.

Andrus, 899 F.2d 753, 759 (9th Cir. 1990) (“The construction and enforcement of settlement agreements are governed by principles of local law which apply to

interpretation of contracts generally.”); Cal. Civ. Code § 1550 (elements of a contract under California law). We reject as without merit Sohn’s contentions concerning the district court’s decision to conduct an evidentiary hearing on defendant’s motion to enforce a settlement agreement. See Adams v. Johns-Manville Corp., 876 F.2d 702, 708 (9th Cir. 1989) (“[Wlhere the parties dispute the existence or terms of the [settlement] agreement, an evidentiary hearing is required.” (citation omitted)) We reject as unsupported by the record Sohn’s contention concerning judicial bias.

We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). Sohn’s motion to amend her reply brief (Docket Entry No. 39) is granted. The Clerk shall file the oversized reply brief received on October 16, 2017 (Docket Entry No. 38). Sohn’s motion for an extension of time to file a corrected reply brief (Docket Entry No. 40) is denied. AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
