Before LOKEN, COLLOTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges. ____________

PER CURIAM. Tamara Kent appeals following the district court’s1 with-prejudice dismissal of her employment discrimination action pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we affirm.

We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Kent’s motions for appointment of counsel. See Phillips v. Jasper Cnty. Jail, 437 F.3d 791, 794 (8th Cir. 2006) (standard of review). Further, we find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s dismissal of the action for willful disobedience of the court’s orders and a pattern of intentional delay. See Smith v. Gold Dust Casino, 526 F.3d 402, 404 (8th Cir. 2008) (standard of review). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Sarah E. Pitlyk, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
