   MEMORANDUM

California state prisoner Lance Reber-ger appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to pay the filing fee, after denying Reberger’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) on the basis that Reberger has three strikes under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Washington v. L.A. Cty. Sheriffs Dep’t, 833 F.3d 1048, 1054 (9th Cir. 2016). We affirm.

The district court properly denied Reberger’s motion to proceed IFP because at the time Reberger filed the complaint, he had filed three actions that qualified as strikes, and he did not plausibly allege that he was “upder imminent danger of serious physical injury” at the time he lodged the complaint. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g); Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1053, 1055-56 (9th Cir. 2007) (discussing the imminent danger exception to § 1915(g)).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Reberger’s motion for an extension because Reberger failed to demonstrate good cause. See Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992) (setting forth standard of review and “good cause” requirement for modifying a scheduling order).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Reberger’s motion to amend his complaint because amendment would be futile. See Chappel v. Lab Corp. of Am., 232 F.3d 719, 725-26 (9th Cir. 2000) (setting forth standard of review and explaining that a district, court acts within its discretion to deny leave to amend if amendment would be futile).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Reberger’s motion for reconsideration because Reberger failed to establish any basis for such relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth standard of review and grounds for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e)).

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). We do not consider documents and facts not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990) (“Documents or facts not presented to the district court are not part of the record on appeal.”).

AFFIRMED.
