¶1 MEMORANDUM …

¶2 Harold Harter appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging equal protection and due process claims in connection with parole consideration. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to prosecute. Edwards v. Marin Park, Inc., 356 F.3d 1058, 1063 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

¶3 The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Harter’s action for failure to prosecute because Harter was given leave to amend his complaint and he failed to do so. See Edwards, 356 F.3d at 1065 (“The failure of the plaintiff eventually to respond to the court’s ultimatum— either by amending the complaint or by indicating to the court that it will not do so—is properly met with the sanction of a Rule 41(b) dismissal.”); Yourish v. Cal. Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983, 989 (9th Cir. 1999) (listing factors to be considered in dismissing a case as a sanction for failure to prosecute).

¶4 Because Harter’s action was dismissed as a sanction for failure to prosecute, the dismissal of his due process claim is not reviewable. See Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1386 (9th Cir. 1996) (“[I]nterlocutory orders, generally appealable after final judgment, are not appealable after a dismissal for failure to prosecute[.]”).

¶5 AFFIRMED.

…

¶6 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
