Royal Porter McHenry, Los Angeles, CA, pro se.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Manuel L. Real, District Judge, Presiding. D.C. No. 2:07-cv-07338-R-JWJ.

Before: RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.



MEMORANDUM

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Royal Porter McHenry, an inmate in Los Angeles County Jail, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing, without prejudice, his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to comply with a court order. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion, Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 2002), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action because McHenry failed to comply with the district court's order requiring him to file an amended complaint within a specified time period. See id. at 642-43 (discussing factors a court must weigh to determine whether to dismiss a claim for failure to comply with a court order). Further, McHenry asked the district court to dismiss this action. To the extent McHenry sought to stand on the original complaint, we agree with the magistrate judge's order of December 4, 2007, that the complaint failed to allege sufficient facts to put defendants on notice of a claim against them.

We do not consider issues not properly raised before the district court. See Smith v. Marsh, 194 F.3d 1045, 1052 (9th Cir. 1999).

McHenry's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
