VINCENT U. SOLOMON, AKA Vincent Urain Solomon, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. INES CASTANEDA; et al., Defendants-Appellees, and A. BANKS; et al., Defendants.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION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 Eastern District of California Dale A. Drozd, District Judge, Presiding No. 1:15-cv-01801-DAD-JDP
Before: SILVERMAN, MILLER, and BUMATAY, Circuit Judges.
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
California state prisoner Vincent U.Solomon appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional violations. 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 in dismissing Solomon's action after Solomon failed to file a second amended complaint as ordered or inform the court of an affirmative choice not to amend. See id. at 642-43 (discussing factors to consider in determining whether to dismiss under Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) for failure to comply with a court order); see also Edwards v. Marin Park, Inc., 356 F.3d 1058, 1065 (9th Cir. 2004) ("The failure of the plaintiff eventually to respond to the court's ultimatum-either by amending the complaint or by indicating to the court that it will not do so-is properly met with the sanction of a Rule 41(b) dismissal.").
AFFIRMED.
