MEMORANDUM **

Ian A McElroy appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his action as a sanction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(b) for failure to comply with discovery orders. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Payne v. Exxon Corp., 121 F.3d 503, 507 (9th Cir. 1997). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing the action after finding that McElroy’s failure to comply with its discovery orders indicated willfulness and bad faith and after properly considering the pertinent factors for determining whether to dismiss under Rule 37. See id. at 507-08.

McElroy’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

McElroy’s request for judicial notice is granted.

AFFIRMED.
