1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Yoonesi’s action
with prejudice after weighing the pertinent factors and evaluating alternatives to
dismissal. See id. at 1260-63 (setting forth factors for determining whether a pro
se action should be dismissed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b)).
We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
Defendant Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, Now Known As PGIM
Real Estate Finance, LLC.’s pending motion (Docket Entry No. 7) is granted.
Defendants Citibank TIAA and David Howerton’s pending motion (Docket
Entry No. 17) is granted.
Yoonesi’s motion for leave to file a late reply brief (Docket Entry No. 39) is
granted. The Clerk shall file the reply brief submitted at Docket Entry No. 41.
Yoonesi’s remaining pending motions (Docket Entry Nos. 6, 40, and 42) are
denied.
AFFIRMED.
