We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Yourish v. Cal. Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983, 986 (9th Cir. 1999). We affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion when it dismissed Turner’s action for failure to comply with its discovery order after it warned that noncompliance could result in dismissal, it granted an extension of time to comply, and Turner failed to oppose defendants’ motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 642-43 (9th Cir. 2002) (discussing factors that district courts must consider before dismissing under Rule 41(b)). Turner’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive. Turner’s pending motions are denied. AFFIRMED. 2 09-17461
