Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
William Cato Sells, Jr., a Washington state prisoner formerly incarcerated in Nevada, appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to prosecute. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1384 (9th Cir.1996). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Sells's action for failure to prosecute after finding that Sells was unable to appear for trial due to his incarceration in another state and considering all reasonable alternatives to dismissal. See id. at 1384-85 (discussing factors that district courts must consider before dismissing under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b)).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
