Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
________________________
(June 27, 2012)

-- 1 of 2 --

Before BARKETT, PRYOR, and COX, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The district court dismissed Michael Bradford’s civil action with prejudice
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b), denying in the same order Bradford’s motion to
dismiss without prejudice. Bradford appeals. He contends that the district court
abused its discretion in dismissing with prejudice and in denying his request for
dismissal without prejudice. (R.1-169.)
This litigation spanned about two years and eight months. Misconduct by one
of Bradford’s former attorneys is not disputed. And, misconduct by Bradford himself
has support in the record. We conclude that Bradford has not shown that the district
court abused its discretion in dismissing the action with prejudice.
AFFIRMED.
