Before:        BEEZER, TROTT, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

        Anthony R. Granillo appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment

dismissing as untimely his “hybrid” action under section 301 of the Labor

Management Relations Act alleging breach of a collective bargaining agreement by

his former employer. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We

review de novo, Harper v. San Diego Transit Corp., 764 F.2d 663, 665-66 (9th

Cir. 1985), and we affirm.

       The district court properly dismissed the action as untimely because Granillo

filed it more than six months after his claims accrued. See id. at 669 (explaining

that section 301 “hybrid” actions have a six-month statute of limitations and

affirming dismissal of a section 301 “hybrid” action filed seven months after the

claim accrued). The action was untimely even if, as Granillo contends, the claim

accrued on November 14, 2007.

       AFFIRMED.
