Randall K. WHITED, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. PARKING VIOLATIONS BUREAU; et al., Defendants-Appellees.
    No. 03-56711.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    
      Submitted Oct. 14, 2004.
    
    Decided Oct. 26, 2004.
    Before: KLEINFELD, TASHIMA, and GOULD, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).
    
   MEMORANDUM

Randall K. Whited appeals pro se the district court’s dismissal without prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against the Los Angeles Parking Violations Bureau and various state and municipal officials. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion the district court’s dismissal for failure to prosecute. Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1384 (9th Cir.1996). We affirm.

Because Whited failed to address the failure-to-prosecute rationale for dismissing his action, we consider this issue abandoned on appeal. See Paladin Assocs. v. Montana Power Co., 328 F.3d 1145, 1164 (9th Cir.2003) (explaining that failure to challenge district court judgment in opening brief waives argument); see also King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir.1987) (noting pro se litigants held to same procedural rules as litigants represented by counsel). Because we affirm the district court’s dismissal for failure to prosecute, we do not reach Whited’s remaining contentions. See Alr-Torki, 78 F.3d at 1386.

Whited’s motion to file an oversized reply brief is granted. The clerk shall file the brief received on February 19, 2004.

AFFIRMED.
