                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Northern District of California
                    James Donato, District Judge, Presiding

                             Submitted June 12, 2018**

Before:      RAWLINSON, CLIFTON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges.

      E. K. Wade appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying Wade

leave to file a complaint pursuant to a vexatious litigant pre-filing order. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a pre-

filing order. Molski v. Evergreen Dynasty Corp., 500 F.3d 1047, 1056 (9th Cir.

2007). We affirm.

      The district court did not abuse its discretion in declaring Wade a vexatious

litigant and entering a pre-filing order against him. See id. at 1057-61. The court

provided Wade with notice and an opportunity to respond, discussed Wade’s

numerous prior lawsuits, found the lawsuits to be frivolous and harassing, and

narrowly tailored its order to address Wade’s particular abuses. See id. Contrary

to Wade’s contention, the district court properly exercised its inherent power under

the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), to enter the pre-filing order. See Weissman

v. Quail Lodge, Inc., 179 F.3d 1194, 1197 (9th Cir. 1999).

      The district court did not abuse its discretion by declining to accept Wade’s

proposed complaints for filing because Wade’s proposed complaints fall within the

scope of the prefiling order entered against him. See West v. Procunier, 452 F.2d

645, 646 (9th Cir. 1971) (concluding that an order refusing to authorize filing of

complaint was a “proper exercise of the district court’s authority to effectuate

compliance with its earlier order”).

      AFFIRMED.
