   MEMORANDUM

John Michael Crim, a former federal prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action alleging federal and state law violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to comply with a court order. Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Crim’s action because Crim failed to comply with a court order and meet deadlines, despite being warned that failure to comply would result in dismissal. See id, at 642-43 (discussing the five factors for determining whether to dismiss for failure to comply with a court order); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992) (although dismissal is a harsh penalty, the district court’s dismissal should not be disturbed absent “a definite and firm conviction” that it “committed a clear error of judgment” (citations and internal quotation marks omitted)).

We reject as without merit Crim’s contentions that he was denied due process or deprived of any rights or privileges.

We do not consider the district court’s order denying Crim’s request to use electronic filing because Crim did not file an amended notice of appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(ii).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

AFFIRMED.
