U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by declaring Oliver a vexatious
litigant and entering a pre-filing review order against him because all of the
requirements for entering a pre-filing review order were met. See id. at 1062
(setting forth requirements for pre-filing review orders).
To the extent Oliver challenges the underlying judgment dismissing his
action, we do not consider his contentions because they are outside the scope of
this appeal.
We reject as without merit Oliver’s contentions that the district court later
amended the vexatious litigant order to add a bond requirement, that the district
court lacked authority to enter the vexatious litigant order sua sponte, and that
Oliver was entitled to a hearing.
AFFIRMED.
