(“FDCPA”) and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We review de novo. Holcombe v. Hosmer, 477 F.3d 1094, 1097 (9th Cir. 2007).

We may affirm on any basis supported by the record, Johnson v. Riverside

Healthcare Sys., LP, 534 F.3d 1116, 1121 (9th Cir. 2008), and we affirm.

      Dismissal of plaintiffs’ action was proper under the doctrine of judicial

estoppel because plaintiffs omitted their FDCPA and state law claims from their

bankruptcy schedules and failed to allege sufficient facts to show that such

omission was due to inadvertence or mistake. See Ah Quin v. Cty. of Kauai Dep’t

of Transp., 733 F.3d 267, 271-73 (9th Cir. 2013) (explaining application of judicial

estoppel in the bankruptcy context and effect of an inadvertent or mistaken

omission from a bankruptcy filing; the court applies a “presumption of deliberate

manipulation” when a plaintiff-debtor has not reopened bankruptcy proceedings);

see also Dzakula v. McHugh, 746 F.3d 399, 401-02 (9th Cir. 2014) (inadvertence

or mistake not established where plaintiff amended her bankruptcy schedules after

the filing of a motion to dismiss and did not file a declaration explaining her initial

omission).

      The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying leave to file an

amended complaint because amendment would be futile. See Cervantes v.

                                           2                                    17-16636
Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011) (setting forth

standard of review and explaining that dismissal without leave to amend is proper

when amendment would be futile).

      Plaintiffs’ motion to file a late reply brief (Docket Entry No. 36) is granted.

The Clerk shall file the reply brief at Docket Entry No. 35.

      AFFIRMED.
