MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.


David Bodley appeals the district court's summary judgment in his action under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), alleging that he was denied full and equal enjoyment of the Scottsdale Plaza Resort ("Plaza") as a result of architectural barriers. The district court concluded that Bodley lacked standing be* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided cause he did not show he was likely to patronize the hotel in the future, thereby failing to establish the imminent injury required for injunctive relief. We affirm.

Though Bodley was able to demonstrate that he was actually injured because he "personally suffered discrimination as a result of the barriers in place" while patronizing Plaza, see Doran v. 7-Eleven, Inc., 524 F.3d 1034, 1040 (9th Cir. 2008), he did not "establish a `real and immediate threat of repeated injury,'" Fortyune v. Am. Multi-Cinema, Inc., 364 F.3d 1075, 1081 (9th Cir. 2004) (quoting O'Shea v. Littleton, 414 U.S. 488, 496, 94 S.Ct. 669, 38 L.Ed.2d 674 (1974)), because he did not demonstrate that he intended to return to patronize the Plaza. See D'Lil v. Best Western Encina Lodge Suites, 538 F.3d 1031, 1037 (9th Cir. 2008); Doran, 524 F.3d at 1041.

AFFIRMED.
