Defendants-Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Central District of California
Stephen V. Wilson, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted July 11, 2017**
Before: CANBY, KOZINSKI, and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.
Mahmood Yoonessi appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment
dismissing for failure to prosecute his 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 under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
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).

Entry No. 17) is granted.

granted. The Clerk shall file the reply brief submitted at Docket Entry No. 41.
