JW SEALS, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, Defendant-Appellee.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California No. 2:18-cv-10104-CBM-JEM Consuelo B. Marshall, District Judge, Presiding
Before: PAEZ, NGUYEN, and OWENS, Circuit Judges.
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
JW Seals, Jr. appeals pro se from the district court's order dismissing his employment discrimination action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to comply with a court order. Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Seals's action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) because Seals failed to file an amended complaint despite repeated opportunities and after being warned that failure to do so would result in dismissal. See id. at 640, 642-43 (discussing factors to consider in determining whether to dismiss for failure to comply with a court order and noting that dismissal should not be disturbed absent "a definite and firm conviction" that the district court "committed a clear error of judgment" (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
