Ilester Malone appeals from the district court’s 1 dismissal with prejudice of his employment-discrimination case for failure to comply with a court order. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion, as Malone exhibited a pattern of intentional delay by repeatedly failing to adhere to pretrial and hearing schedules. See Hunt v. City of Minneapolis, 203 F.3d 524, 527 (8th Cir. 2000) (standard of review; dismissal with prejudice under Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) should be used only in cases of willful disobedience of court order or where litigant exhibits pattern of intentional delay; district court need not find appellant acted in bad faith, but only that he acted intentionally as opposed to accidentally or involuntarily).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
