Chambala Hollis, I v. Veolia Transportation, Inc.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Chambala Hollis, I v. Veolia Transportation, Inc., 502 F. App'x 617 (8th Cir. 2013)

Chambala Hollis, I v. Veolia Transportation, Inc.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Chambala Hollis appeals the district court’s 1 order dismissing his employment-discrimination action with prejudice for failure to comply with a court order. He has also moved to strike some of appellees’ statements and arguments. Upon careful review, see Smith v. Gold Dust Casino, 526 F.3d 402, 404 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review), we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the case, see id. at 404-05 (dismissal with prejudice for failure to comply with court order is appropriate in cases of willful disobedience of court order). Accordingly, we affirm. We also deny Hollis’s pending motion. 2 See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

1

. The Honorable Scott O. Wright, United States District Judge for the Western District of Missouri.

2

. The parties have briefed the issue of the correctness of a post-judgment order granting defendants attorney’s fees and costs, but Hollis failed to file a new or amended notice of appeal designating this order for appeal, and thus it is not properly before us. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(ii) (party intending to challenge order disposing of post-judgment *619 motion must timely file notice of appeal or amended notice of appeal).
