MEMORANDUM**

2
Hope and Karl Wudtke appeal pro se the district court's dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.   They contend the district court erred when it dismissed their action with prejudice pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).   We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.   We review for abuse of discretion, Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S.Ct. 321 (1992), and affirm.

3
The Wudtkes contend the district court erred when it:  denied their motions for default pursuant to Rule 37, for judgment on the pleadings, and to disqualify the district court judge;  and dismissed their action with prejudice for refusing to comply with discovery orders.   We disagree for the reasons stated by the district court.1

4
AFFIRMED.
