Submitted September 27, 2016***

his 42 U.S.C § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a
dismissal for failure to prosecute. Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1384 (9th
Cir. 1996). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Hickman’s
action after Hickman failed to comply with court orders and a binding stipulation
to arbitrate, despite being warned that failure to comply would result in dismissal.
See id. (discussing factors to be considered before dismissing a case for failure to
prosecute). Because we affirm the district court’s dismissal of Hickman’s action
for failure to prosecute, we do not consider his challenges to the district court’s
interlocutory orders. See id. at 1386 (“[I]nterlocutory orders, generally appealable
after final judgment, are not appealable after a dismissal for failure to prosecute,
whether the failure to prosecute is purposeful or is a result of negligence or
mistake.” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
