commitment proceedings under California’s Sexually Violent Predators Act. We
have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a
dismissal for failure to prosecute, Ash v. Cvetkov, 739 F.2d 493, 495 (9th Cir.
1984), and we affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing the action
without prejudice after it warned Shehee that failure to file a fourth amended
complaint could result in dismissal, and granted two extensions of time to comply
with its order. See id. at 496 (discussing factors to consider in determining
whether a district court abuses its discretion by dismissing an action for failure to
prosecute).
Shehee’s remaining contentions, including those concerning the district
court’s orders dismissing his third amended complaint with leave to amend and
denying his request for appointment of counsel, are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
