DOYLE DEAN HARTLINE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Defendant-Appellee.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 2:14-cv-00635-KJM-AC MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California
Kimberly J. Mueller, District Judge, Presiding Before: LEAVY, BEA, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Doyle Dean Hartline appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his action alleging federal and state law claims. We review for an abuse of discretion a district court's dismissal as a sanction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b). Malone v. United States Postal Serv., 833 F.2d 128, 130 (9th Cir. 1987). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Hartline's action because Hartline failed to produce documents in compliance with the district court's discovery order despite receiving multiple extensions of time to respond to discovery requests and being warned that noncompliance could result in dismissal. See id. at 130-32 (setting forth factors to be considered before dismissing under Rule 37(b)).
In making this decision, we reviewed Docket Entry Nos. 9 and 10. --------
