Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Kathy Tripp appeals pro se from the district court's judgment dismissing her action seeking review of the Commissioner of Social Security's denial of benefits for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court orders. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640-41 (9th Cir.2002). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action after Tripp informed the court that she would not comply with the court's orders to provide a confidential letter to the defendant, even if would result in the dismissal of her case. See id. at 642-43 (discussing factors relevant to dismissal for failure to comply with a court order or failure to prosecute).
We do not consider Tripp's contentions concerning the district court's order denying her motion for default judgment. See Ash v. Cvetkov, 739 F.2d 493, 497-98 (9th Cir.1984) (interlocutory orders are not appealable after dismissal for failure to prosecute). Nor do we consider Tripp's contentions regarding the merits of the Commissioner of Social Security's denial of benefits raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir.2009).
All pending motions are denied.
AFFIRMED.
