Delmo Torrefranca v. Charles Ryan, 453 F. App'x 704 (9th Cir. 2011)

Delmo Torrefranca v. Charles Ryan

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Delmo Figura Torrefranca, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se from district *705 court’s judgment dismissing without prejudice his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging constitutional violations by various prison officials. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to prosecute under Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1423 (9th Cir. 1986). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Torrefranca’s action without prejudice for failure to prosecute because Torrefranca failed to serve the two defendants that survived the court’s screening under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b); see also Henderson, 779 F.2d at 1423 (listing factors to guide the court’s decision whether to dismiss under Rule 41(b)); see also Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(m).

Because we affirm the district court’s dismissal under Rule 41(b), we do not consider Torrefranca’s challenges to the district court’s interlocutory orders. See Al-Torki v. Kaempen, 78 F.3d 1381, 1386 (9th Cir. 1996) (after dismissal for failure to prosecute, interlocutory orders are not ap-pealable whether or not failure to prosecute was purposeful).

Torrefranca’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
