PER CURIAM.
William Z. Shen appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his employment-
discrimination and breach-of-contract action, without prejudice, for failure to
prosecute. We review for abuse of discretion, see Garland v. Peebles, 1 F.3d 683,
686 (8th Cir. 1993), and find none. Shen’s alleged difficulties with legal
representation, though regrettable, do not excuse him from the litigant’s responsibility
-- 1 of 2 --
to comply with the district court’s substantive and procedural requirements. See
Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 633-34 (1962) ; Brown v. Frey, 806 F.2d 801,
804 (8th Cir. 1986). Accordingly, we affirm. We deny Shen’s post-appeal motion.
A true copy.
