 v.

DOV CHARNEY, ET AL.,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                       for the Central District of California
                  Michael W. Fitzgerald, District Judge, Presiding

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
Before: WARDLAW and BYBEE, Circuit Judges, and ILLSTON,*** District
Judge.

      Litigation Trustee Peter Kravitz appeals the district court’s order of

dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute or

comply with a court order. The district court did not abuse its discretion in

dismissing the case under Rule 41(b). See Yourish v. Cal. Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983

(9th Cir. 1999); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258 (9th Cir. 1992). On this record,

the relevant factors weigh in favor of dismissal and the district court was not

required to issue a clear warning or attempt less drastic alternatives before

dismissing the action without prejudice.

      AFFIRMED.

      ***
            The Honorable Susan Illston, United States District Judge for the
Northern District of California, sitting by designation.
