   MEMORANDUM

Alfred T. Sapse appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action to set aside a prior judgment against him. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of leave to amend. Gardner v. Martino, 568 F.3d 981, 990 (9th Cir.2009). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend the complaint to plead fraud on the court because amendment would have been futile. See id. at 992 (district court did not abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend where amendment would be futile); see also Appling v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 340 F.3d 769, 780 (9th Cir.2003) (affirming dismissal of independent action to set aside a judgment for fraud on the court because the alleged acts did not constitute a “grave miscarriage of justice”).

Sapse’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

Appellee’s motion to strike the reply brief is denied.

AFFIRMED.
