district court’s dismissal for failure to comply with vexatious litigant orders. In re
Fillbach, 223 F.3d 1089, 1090-91 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Waters’s action
without prejudice because Waters failed to comply with the vexatious litigant
orders entered against him. See Waters v. Howard Sommers Towing, Inc., No. 10-
5296 (C.D. Cal. Dec. 17, 2010), ECF No. 81; Waters v. Casas, No. 09-7696 (C.D.
Cal. July 9, 2012), ECF No. 306); see also In re Fillbach, 223 F.3d at 1090-01
(litigant may not avoid a vexatious litigant order by filing suit in a different court).
The Central District of California properly assigned Waters’s action to the
Western Division of the Central District and to Judge Snyder under the district
court’s General Orders.
We reject Waters’s contentions regarding judicial bias as unsupported by the
record.
Waters’s motion for sanctions and request for judicial notice are denied.
AFFIRMED.
