MEMORANDUM ***

John Berman appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment following a jury trial in his diversity action alleging personal injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. *Goodman v. Staples The Office Superstore, LLC,*644 F.3d 817, 822 (9th Cir. 2011) (discovery and discovery sanctions); *Primiano v. Cook,*598 F.3d 558, 563 (9th *617Cir. 2010) (admissibility of expert testimony). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by excluding Berman’s experts on the ground that Berman failed to provide timely and adequate disclosures. *See*Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) (requirements for expert disclosures); Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(c)(1) (providing for exclusion of evidence where “a party fails to provide information or identify a witness as required by Rule-26(a) ... unless the failure was substantially justified or is harmless”); *Yeti by Molly Ltd. v. Deckers Outdoor Corp.,*259 F.3d 1101, 1106-07 (9th Cir. 2001) (district courts have “particularly wide latitude ... to issue sanctions under Rule 37(c)(1)” for failure to comply with disclosure obligations).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing discovery sanctions when Berman failed to supplement his responses to interrogatories in response to the district court’s order. *See*Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2) (sanctions for not obeying court order).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to exclude the testimony of a defense expert because Berman failed to attach the expert’s report to his motion and to establish grounds for exclusion. *See*Fed. R. Evid. 702 (governing testimony of expert witnesses).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Berman’s motions for reconsideration of evidentiary rulings because Berman failed to demonstrate the required showing for reconsideration. *See*N.D. Cal. L.R. 7-9 (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under the local rules); *Hinton v. Pac. Enters.,*5 F.3d 391, 395 (9th Cir. 1993) (abuse of discretion standard for determination of compliance with local rules); *see also Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc.,*5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir. 1993) (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure).

Contrary to Berman’s contention, the district court did not abuse its discretion by considering the merits of the sanctions motions even though the parties did not meet and confer.

Contrary to Knife River Corporation’s contention, the district court did not clearly err in concluding that there was subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 because at the time of the filing of the lawsuit Berman was domiciled outside of California and the parties were diverse. *See Lew v. Moss,*797 F.2d 747, 750 (9th Cir. 1986) (setting forth standard of review and explaining that “a person’s old domicile is not lost until a new one is acquired”). Berman’s position on appeal does not alter this conclusion.

Berman’s request for judicial notice (Docket Entry No. 33) is denied.

AFFIRMED.
