1Opinion of the Court

MEMORANDUM**

1

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Chavez’s hostile work environment claim under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (“FEHA”). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to Chavez, the instances of alleged harassment were not sufficiently severe or pervasive to alter the conditions of his employment. See Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 524 U.S. 775, 786-88, 118 S.Ct. 2275, 141 L.Ed.2d 662 (1998); Manatt v. Bank of America, NA, 339 F.3d 792, 798-99 (9th Cir.2003).
