               Defendants - Appellees.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Nevada
                     Kent J. Dawson, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted August 25, 2015**

Before:        McKEOWN, CLIFTON, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

      Robert Langermann appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing his action arising out of the administration of a class action settlement.

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of

discretion a district court’s order denying a motion to transfer. Jones v. GNC

Franchising, Inc., 211 F.3d 495, 498 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.

      The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Langermann’s

motion to transfer this action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of

Florida because Langermann was enjoined from further prosecuting the instant

action. See McCollough v. Johnson, Rodenburg & Lauinger, LLC, 637 F.3d 939,

953 (9th Cir. 2011) (an abuse of discretion exists only where there is a definite and

firm conviction that the district court committed a clear error of judgment).

      We reject Langermann’s contentions regarding denial of access to courts, the

district court’s sanction warning, and unequal treatment by the district court and

the Eleventh Circuit.

      AFFIRMED.
