MEMORANDUM **

Dolores Martinez appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in her diversity action seeking damages for negligence related to a trip and fall accident. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo. Colwell v. Bannister, 763 F.3d 1060, 1065 (9th Cir. 2014). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Martinez failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant owed her a duty of care. See Ortega v. Kmart Corp., 26 Cal.4th 1200, 114 Cal.Rptr.2d 470, 36 P.3d 11, 14 (2001) (elements of a premises liability negligence claim under California law); Sprecher v. Adamson Cos., 30 Cal.3d 358, 178 Cal.Rptr. 783, 636 P.2d 1121, 1126 (1981) (“[T]he duty to take affirmative action for the protection of individuals coming upon the land is grounded in the possession of the premises and the attendant right to control and manage the premises.”).

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Martinez’s motion for reconsideration because Martinez failed to establish grounds for such relief. See Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262-63 (9th Cir. 1993) (standard of review and grounds for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e)).

We reject as unsupported by the record Martinez’s contention that the district court was biased against her.

AFFIRMED.
