MEMORANDUM **

Stephanie McGee appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying her leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in her action concerning child support payments. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court’s finding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction, K2 Am. Corp. v. Roland Oil & Gas, LLC, 653 F.3d 1024, 1027 (9th Cir.2011), and for an abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of leave to proceed IFP, Minetti v. Port of Seattle, 152 F.3d 1113, 1114 (9th Cir.1998) (per curiam). We affirm.

The district court properly concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over McGee’s action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a) (requiring complete diversity of citizenship); K2 Am. Corp., 653 F.3d at 1029 (discussing requirements for federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331); see also Nevada v. Bank of Am. Corp., 672 F.3d 661, 673 (9th Cir.2012) (“[A] court may raise the question of subject matter jurisdiction, sua sponte, at any time during the pendency of the action. ...” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying McGee’s request to proceed IFP because it appears from the face of the amended complaint that McGee’s action is frivolous or without merit. See Minetti, 152 F.3d at 1115 (concluding that district court did not abuse its discretion by denying IFP application where plaintiff lacked standing).

AFFIRMED.
