    v.
    MEGAN J. BRENNAN,* Postmaster                    MEMORANDUM**
    General of the United States,
    Defendant - Appellee.
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of California
    Laurel D. Beeler, Magistrate Judge, Presiding***
    Submitted April 13, 2016****
    Before:        FARRIS, TALLMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.
    *
    Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 43(c)(2), Megan J.
    Brennan is substituted for her predecessor, Patrick R. Donahoe, as Postmaster
    General.
    **     This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
    except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
    ***   The parties consented to proceed before a magistrate judge. See 28
    U.S.C. § 636(c).
    ****   The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
    without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
    Norma J. Wingate appeals pro se from the district court’s order in her
    employment action alleging discrimination in violation of Title VII. We have
    jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under Federal
    Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Hebbe v. Pliler, 
    627 F.3d 338
    , 341 (9th Cir.
    2010). We affirm.
    The district court properly dismissed Wingate’s Title VII discrimination
    claims because Wingate failed to allege facts sufficient to show that the alleged
    conduct was due to any of her protected classes. See 
    id. at 341-42
    (though pro se
    pleadings are liberally construed, plaintiff must allege sufficient facts to state a
    plausible claim); Leong v. Potter, 
    347 F.3d 1117
    , 1124 (9th Cir. 2003) (elements of
    Title VII employment discrimination claim).
    AFFIRMED.
