MEMORANDUM*


2
Lawrence Moore appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his action on res judicata grounds and the district court's order requiring him to post a $500 appeal bond.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.  We review the dismissal de novo, see Palomar Mobilehome Park Ass'n v. City of San Marcos, 989 F.2d 362, 363 (9th Cir.1993), and the appeal bond for an abuse of discretion, see Fed.R.App.P. 7.  We affirm.


3
Moore contends that the district court erred by dismissing his action on res judicata grounds.  We disagree.


4
The doctrine of res judicata bars a subsequent action between the same parties on all claims that were, or could have been, raised in a previous action which led to a final judgment on the merits.  See FDIC v. Alshuler (In re Imperial Corp. of Am.), 92 F.3d 1503, 1506 (9th Cir.1996).  Here, Moore's claims either were or could have been raised in Moore v. Local 569 of the Int'l Bhd. of Elec. Workers, No. CV-91-1543-B (S.D.Cal. Dec. 22, 1992), appeal dismissed, No. 93-55287, 1994 WL 283957 (9th Cir.  June 27, 1994), and there was a final judgment on the merits, cf.  Pension Trust Fund for Operating Eng'rs v. Triple A Machine Shop, Inc., 942 F.2d 1457, 1462 (9th Cir.1991).  Accordingly, the district court properly dismissed Moore's action on res judicata grounds.  See Palomar Mobilehome Park Ass'n, 989 F.2d at 363.


5
Moore contends that the district court erred by requiring him to post a $500 appeal bond pursuant to Fed.R.App.P. 7.  We disagree.  The determination of the amount of a bond necessary to ensure payment of costs on appeal is left to the discretion of the district court, see Fed.R.App.P. 7, and we are unable to find an abuse of discretion.

AFFIRMED.1
