U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
-- 1 of 2 --
2 21-55062
court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C § 1983 action concerning the inmate
grievance process. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for
an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to prosecute. Carey v. King, 856 F.2d
1439, 1440 (9th Cir. 1988). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Saddozai’s action
because Saddozai failed to file an amended complaint, a notice of election to stand
on his complaint, or a request for an additional extension of time, despite being
warned that failure to respond would result in dismissal. See id. (factors to be
considered in determining whether to dismiss an action for failure to prosecute).
AFFIRMED.
