16016            MCFARLAND v. GUARDSMARK
Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, Los Angeles, California, for
the defendant-appellee.

                          ORDER

  Johnny McFarland (“McFarland”) appeals from the district
court’s decision denying his motion for partial summary judg-
ment and granting partial summary judgment to Guardsmark,
LLC in this dispute arising under Cal. Labor Code § 512.
McFarland v. Guardsmark, LLC, 538 F. Supp. 2d 1209 (N.D.
Cal. 2008). The district court dismissed the remaining claims
upon stipulation of the parties. We affirm for the reasons set
out in the district court’s thorough decision.

   McFarland raises for the first time on appeal the factual
issue of whether his signed employment agreement represents
an actual agreement to take two on-duty meal periods in a sin-
gle day. As McFarland did not raise this issue before the dis-
trict court, see id., we do not consider it here. See Smith v.
Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999).

  AFFIRMED.
