Ashit Zinzuwadia v. Oracle Corporation

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Ashit Zinzuwadia appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his Family Medical Leave Act action for repeated failure to oppose defendant’s motion for summary judgment and to respond to court-ordered discovery. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640-41 (9th Cir. 2002). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action after it repeatedly warned Zinzuwadia that noncompliance with its orders to respond to discovery would result in dismissal, and granted numerous extensions of time to comply with those orders and to oppose summary judgment. See id. at 642-43 (discussing factors relevant to dismissal for failure to comply with a court order or failure to prosecute); see also Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1261 (9th Cir. 1992) (where the district court does not make explicit findings concerning these factors, we “review the record independently to determine if [it] has abused its discretion”).

Zinzuwadia’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
