court’s dismissal for failure to comply with an order of the court. Ferdik v.
Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing the action,
without prejudice, after Davis failed to file an amended complaint despite being
warned twice that failure to do so would result in dismissal. See id. at 1260-63 (the
district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing after providing the litigant
with notice of the complaint’s defects and adequate time to amend).
AFFIRMED.
