 v.
                                                MEMORANDUM*
CITY OF PORTLAND,

                Defendant-Appellee.

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                            for the District of Oregon
                   Michael H. Simon, District Judge, Presiding

                            Submitted March 3, 2020**

Before:      MURGUIA, CHRISTEN, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

      Heather Kowitz appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment

in her employment action alleging federal and state law claims. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, and we may affirm on

any basis supported by the record. Curley v. City of N. Las Vegas, 772 F.3d 629,


      *
             This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
631 (9th Cir. 2014). We affirm.

      The district court properly granted summary judgment on Kowitz’s Oregon

state law employment claims because Kowitz failed to commence the action in a

timely manner. See Or. Rev. Stat. § 12.020(1) (an action is not commenced until

plaintiff files a complaint and serves the summons on the defendant); Or. Rev. Stat.

§ 659A.875(2) (party has 90 days to file civil lawsuit after the mailing of the

Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries notice of right to sue); Sain v. City of Bend,

309 F.3d 1134, 1138 (9th Cir. 2002) (federal courts apply state law statute of

limitations for state law claims).

      The district court properly granted summary judgment on Kowitz’s

discrimination claim regarding the psychological fitness for duty evaluation

because Kowitz failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether the

examination was not job-related and inconsistent with business necessity. See

Brownfield v. City of Yakima, 612 F.3d 1140, 1145 (9th Cir. 2010) (explaining

business necessity standard).

      Summary judgment on Kowitz’s Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”)

discrimination claim regarding alleged disparate treatment and Title VII retaliation

claim was proper because Kowitz failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact

as to whether the City’s legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for its adverse

actions were pretextual. See Curley v. City of N. Las Vegas, 772 F.3d 629, 632



                                          2                                       19-35148
(9th Cir. 2014) (explaining that in an ADA discrimination action, where an

employer has offered a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the adverse

employment action, the burden shifts back to the employee to show that each of the

employer’s proffered reasons were pretextual); Surrell v. Cal. Water Serv. Co., 518

F.3d 1097, 1107-08 (9th Cir. 2008) (elements of a retaliation claim under Title

VII); Stegall v. Citadel Broad. Co., 350 F.3d 1061, 1066, 1069-70 (9th Cir. 2004)

(circumstantial evidence of pretext must be specific and substantial); see also

Simmons v. Navajo County, 609 F.3d 1011, 1017 (9th Cir. 2010) (district court

does not have to scour the record of disorganized filings in search of a genuine

dispute of material fact), overruled on other grounds by Castro v. County of Los

Angeles, 833 F.3d 1060 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc).

       We do not consider allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See

Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). We do not consider

documents not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d

870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990).

      Kowitz’s request to withdraw her motion to proceed in forma pauperis

(Docket Entry No. 16) is granted. Kowitz’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis

(Docket Entry No. 8) is denied as unnecessary. All other pending motions (Docket

Entry No. 25 and Docket Entry No. 27) are denied.

      AFFIRMED.



                                          3                                   19-35148
