                    Appeal from the United States District Court

                     George H. King, Chief Judge, Presiding

Before:        W. FLETCHER, RAWLINSON, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges.

       Jeanetta Craney appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying her

request to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in her action alleging various federal

and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for

abuse of discretion and may affirm on any basis supported by the record.

O’Loughlin v. Doe, 920 F.2d 614, 616-17 (9th Cir. 1990). We affirm.

      Denial of Craney’s motion to proceed IFP was not an abuse of discretion

because Craney’s complaint is frivolous. See Tripati v. First Nat’l Bank & Trust,

821 F.2d 1368, 1370 (9th Cir. 1987) (“A district court may deny leave to proceed

in forma pauperis at the outset if it appears from the face of the proposed complaint

that the action is frivolous or without merit.”); see also O’Loughlin, 920 F.2d at

617 (“An in forma pauperis complaint is frivolous if it has no arguable basis in fact

or law.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

      AFFIRMED.
