Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Danny Joseph Fabricant appeals pro se from the district court's order declaring him a vexatious litigant and imposing a pre-filing restriction against him. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
Fabricant contends that the district court lacked authority to impose the order and abused its discretion in doing so. We reject the argument. The district court imposed the order after Fabricant's direct appeal and 28 U.S.C. § 2255 habeas petition were concluded. In this circumstance, the court acted within its authority. See Molski v. Evergreen Dynasty Corp., 500 F.3d 1047, 1057 (9th Cir. 2007) ("The All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), provides district courts with the inherent power to enter pre-filing orders against vexatious litigants."); see also C.D, Cal. Local Civil Rule 83-8.2; C.D. Cal. Local Criminal Rule 57-1. Moreover, the district court did not abuse its discretion in imposing the order because it gave Fabricant notice and an opportunity to be heard, developed an adequate record for review, made substantive findings regarding Fabricant's frivolous litigation history, and tailored the restriction narrowly. See Molski, 500 F.3d at 1057-58 (discussing the four factors a district court must consider before imposing a pre-filing restriction on a vexatious litigant).
AFFIRMED.
