              Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Central District of California
             Margaret M. Morrow, District Judge, Presiding

                Argued and Submitted November 8, 2017
                         Pasadena, California


                                    46
Before: LINN,** BERZON, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

      In 2004 and 2007, approximately 2,500 Los Angeles Police Department

(LAPD) officers brought suit against the City of Los Angeles (the City), alleging

that the City had violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201,

et seq., by failing to pay the officers for their overtime work. On May 21, 2014,

District Judge Gary A. Feess granted the City’s decertification motion in both cases,

concluding that the officers were not “similarly situated.” Sub-groups of the original

collectives then instituted 28 separate lawsuits, which were assigned to 13 different

district judges in the Central District of California. In every case, the City filed a

motion to dismiss on the basis of misjoinder. And in every case, this motion was

granted and all plaintiffs but for the named plaintiff were dismissed pursuant to

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 20 and 21. The 27 instant appeals followed, and

were consolidated for our review.

      We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review a district

court’s resolution of a motion to dismiss for improper joinder for an abuse of

discretion, see, e.g., Cuprite Mine Partners LLC v. Anderson, 809 F.3d 548, 551 (9th

Cir. 2015); Coleman v. Quaker Oats Co., 232 F.3d 1271, 1296-97 (9th Cir. 2000),

and may affirm on any ground supported by the record, e.g., Livid Holdings Ltd. v.



      **
            The Honorable Richard Linn, Senior United States Circuit Judge for
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, sitting by designation.

                                         47
Salomon Smith Barney, Inc., 416 F.3d 940, 950 (9th Cir. 2005). We affirm.

      As the facts and procedural history are familiar to the parties, we decline to

recite them.

      Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20 establishes the standards for permissive

joinder, and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 21 governs the remedies for misjoinder.

See Pan Am. World Airways, Inc. v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for the Cent. Dist. of Cal., 523

F.2d 1073, 1079-80 (9th Cir. 1975) (directing courts to analyze the validity of

permissive joinder for the purposes of Rule 21 according to Rule 20’s requirements).

In relevant part, Rule 20 allows “[p]ersons [to] join in one action as plaintiffs if:

(A) they assert any right to relief jointly, severally, or in the alternative with respect

to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or

occurrences; and (B) any question of law or fact common to all plaintiffs will arise

in the action.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(1). Rule 21 provides that if these two criteria

are not met and plaintiffs are improperly joined, “[o]n motion or on its own, the court

may at any time, on just terms, add or drop a party. The court may also sever any

claim against a party.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 21.

      Here, Plaintiffs-Appellants have failed to satisfy Rule 20’s permissive joinder

standard. For example, Plaintiffs-Appellants do not allege any greater connection

between their claims than that the City’s employees violated the FLSA in

comparable ways, at various different times, and in various different divisions and


                                           48
bureaus. Plaintiffs-Appellants’ claims therefore are too factually disparate to arise

out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences. See,

e.g., Visendi v. Bank of Am., N.A., 733 F.3d 863, 870 (9th Cir. 2013); Coughlin v.

Rogers, 130 F.3d 1348, 1350 (9th Cir. 1997). Thus, no district court abused its

discretion in deciding to “dismiss all but the first named plaintiff without prejudice

to the institution of new, separate lawsuits by the dropped plaintiffs.” Coughlin, 130

F.3d at 1350.

      We need not decide whether any district court improperly relied on Judge

Feess’s decertification decision or any decertification discovery in reaching its

decision, because we can affirm on any ground supported by the record and the

record in each of these consolidated appeals supports our conclusion that the

permissive joinder standard was not satisfied.

      AFFIRMED.
