                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                    Cormac J. Carney, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted December 14, 2010 **

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
      Richard Shelley appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his

Truth in Lending Act (“TILA”) action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291. We review de novo. King v. California, 784 F.2d 910, 912 (9th Cir.

1986). We affirm.

      The district court properly dismissed Shelley’s TILA claim seeking damages

because his action, filed nearly three years after the alleged violation, was time-

barred. See 15 U.S.C. § 1640(e) (an action for damages must be brought within

one year of the date of the alleged violation).

      The district court also properly dismissed Shelley’s TILA claim seeking

rescission because Shelley did not allege the ability to tender the proceeds of the

loan despite being warned by the district court of this requirement and being given

the opportunity to do so. See Yamamoto v. Bank of N.Y., 329 F.3d 1167, 1171 (9th

Cir. 2003). (“[I]n applying TILA, a trial judge has the discretion to condition

rescission on tender by the borrower of the property he had received from the

lender.”) (internal quotation marks and brackets omitted).

      We do not consider contentions arising from claims that were not included

in the complaint or arguments that were not raised before the district court. See

O’Guinn v. Lovelock Corr. Ctr., 502 F.3d 1056, 1063 n.3 (9th Cir. 2007); Forsyth

v. Humana, Inc., 114 F.3d 1467, 1474 (9th Cir. 1997).

                                           2                                      09-56133
Shelley’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

All pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
