question:
Raye Ellen Stiles appeals pro se from the district court's summary judgment in her action alleging, among other claims, housing discrimination. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1291. We review de novo and may affirm the district court on any ground supported by the record. Crowley v. Nevada, 678 F.3d 730, 733-34 (9th Cir.2012). We affirm. Summary judgment on Stiles' claims for intentional infliction of emotional distress, aggravation of preexisting conditions, and public humiliation was proper because she already litigated these claims in Arizona state court, and, thus, res judicata precludes her from bringing such claims in federal court. See Sunkist Growers v. Fisher, 104 F.3d 280, 283-84 (9th Cir.1997) (<HOLDING>). Summary judgment on Stiles' federal claims

question:
the district court would have been de facto granting a continuance by declaring a mistrial and summoning new jurors. We decline here to find that the district court abused its discretion in denying a mistrial when the defendant's own misconduct caused the alleged impartiality of the jurors and the court took reasonable steps to ensure the jurors could serve impartially. Williams v. Woodford, 306 F.3d 665, 723-24 (9th Cir.2002) ("The Sixth Amendment affords no relief when the defendant's own misconduct caused the alleged juror partiality and the trial judge employed reasonable means under the circumstances to preserve the trial's fairness") (citing United States v. Hernandez, 952 F.2d 1110, 1116-18 (9th Cir.1991)). See also United States v. Harris, 2 F.3d 1452, 1456 (7th Cir.1993) (<HOLDING>). Because the district court afforded the

question:
standard. Fed. R. Crv. P. 9(b) ("In all averments of fraud or mistake, the circumstances constituting fraud or mistake shall be stated with particularity."). Thus, Toombs extended the Rule 9(b) exception to cases with no fraud allegations. Importantly, Toombs provided no reason whatsoever for extending Rule 9(b), and the Court cannot determine that the Ninth Circuit even considered its holding's impact on notice pleading. The Court must reject those cases which require plaintiffs to plead facts showing compliance with the statute of limitations in every suit brought pursuant to 111. Rule 8(a) does not require plaintiffs to plead every element that they must ultimately prove simply because plaintiffs carry the burden of proof. Woodfield v. Bowman, 193 F.3d 354, 362 (5th Cir.1999) (<HOLDING>); Bennett v. Schmidt, 153 F.3d 516, 518 (7th
