Katherine Owen v. County of Imperial

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Katherine Avilla Owen appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her action alleging claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and state law in connection with her arrest by the County of Imperial. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to prosecute, Ash v. Cvetkov, 739 F.2d 493, 495 (9th Cir. 1984), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing the action, without prejudice, after weighing the relevant factors. See id. at 496 (discussing factors relevant to dismissal for failure to prosecute).

We do not consider Owen’s contentions concerning the district court’s orders denying her motion for recusal and awarding sanctions to defendants. See id. at 497-98 (interlocutory orders are not appealable after dismissal for failure to prosecute).

AFFIRMED.
