Randal William Howard, Tucson, AZ, pro se.

MEMORANDUM **

Randal W. Howard appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment for the government in its action to reduce to judgment unpaid tax assessments and foreclose on federal tax liens on Howard’s property. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Hughes v. United States, 953 F.2d 531, 541 (9th Cir.1992), and we affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment because Howard failed to controvert the government’s Certificates of Assessments and Payments demonstrating that the assessments were properly made. See id. at 540 (Certificates of Assessments and Payments are “probative evidence in and of themselves and, in the absence of contrary evidence, are sufficient to establish that ... assessments were properly made.”). Accordingly, the district court properly concluded that Howard’s property could be sold to satisfy his tax debt. See 26 U.S.C. §§ 7402(a), 7403(a).

Howard’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
