   MEMORANDUM

Cynthia Wise appeals pro se from the district court’s default judgment in appel-lees’ action alleging civil liability for violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s order granting a motion for default judgment. NewGen, LLC v. Safe Cig, LLC, 840 F.3d 606, 616 (9th Cir. 2016). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in granting appellees’ motion for default judgment because Wise failed to answer the complaint or otherwise appear, despite proof that she was personally served with the summons and complaint. See id. (discussing factors to determine whether to enter default judgment).

We do not consider Wise’s arguments, presented for the first time on appeal, challenging the basis for the district court’s default judgment. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1046, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999).

By separate order, this appeal has been dismissed as to appellant Dan Wise.

All pending motions are denied as moot.

AFFIRMED.
