- 55248

novo. Avery v. First Resolution Mgmt. Corp. , 568 F.3d 1018, 1021 (9th Cir. 2009) (cross

- motions for summary judgment); Worth v. Selchow & Righter Co. , 827 F.2d 569, 571 (9th Cir. 1987) (copyright infringement)

. We affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment for defendants because Lee failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether his father’s copyrighted works were publicly performed at def endants’ establishments.
See Funky Films, Inc. v. Time Warner Entm ’ t Co ., 462 F.3d 1072, 1076 (9th Cir. 2006) (elements of a copyright infringement claim ) ; see also 17 U.S.C. § 106 (4 ) (the copyright owner has the “exclusive right[] to perform the copyrighted work publicly ” for “ literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works ”); § 101 (public performance of a copyrighted work means “ to perform or display it at a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered . . . .”). In light of the above, the
district court d id not err in denying Lee’s cross

- motion for summary judgment on his copyright infringement claim. To the extent that Lee’s cross

- motion for summary judgment is construed as a request for additional discovery or a continuance under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d), denial of Lee’s Rule 56(d) request was proper because Lee failed to satisfy the requirements of Rule 56(d). See Tatum v. City & County of San3 18

- 55248

Francisco , 441 F.3d 1090, 1100 (9th Cir. 2006) (setting forth the standard of review and explain ing that Rule 56 requires a party to “identify by affidavit the specific facts that further discovery would reveal, and explain why those facts would preclude summary judgment”). Because Lee concedes that he did not raise the discovery

- related claims argued in the opening brief before the district court, we do not consider those issues for the time on appeal. See Dodd v. Hood River C ount y , 59 F.3d 852, 863 (9th Cir. 1995) (“ As a g eneral rule, a federal appellate court does not consider an issue not passed upon below.” (citation and internal quotations marks omitted)); see also King v. Atiyeh , 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987) , overruled on other grounds by Lacey v. Maricopa County , 693 F.3d 896 (9th Cir. 2012) (“Pro se litigants must follow the same rules of procedure that govern other litigants.”). Lee’s motion to supplement the opening brief (Docket Entry No. 33) is
denied. See Kirshner v. Uniden Corp. of Am ., 842 F.2d 1074, 1077 (9th Cir. 1988) (“Papers not filed with the district court or admitted into evidence by that court are not part of the clerk ’ s record and cannot be part of the record on appeal.”).
