Teresa Polite v. Arkansas Dept of Correction

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Teresa Polite appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal without prejudice of her civil rights action for failure to comply with a court order. Upon careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(b)(2), 41(b); Doe v. Cassel, 403 F.3d 986, 990 (8th Cir. 2005) (per curiam) (Rule 41(b) dismissal); Hairston v. Alert Safety Light Prods., Inc., 307 F.3d 717, 718-19 (8th Cir. 2002) (Rule 37(b) dismissal). We also decline to consider the arguments raised for the first *698 time on appeal. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
