The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). federal and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s dismissal under its local rules. Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Bobadilla’s claims against SNMC and NDSC after Bobadilla failed to file a timely opposition to these defendants’ motions to dismiss as required by the district court’s local rules. See id. at 53-54 (factors to consider before dismissing an action for failure to follow a district court’s local rules; where the district court does not make explicit findings concerning the factors, “we review the record independently to determine whether [it] abused its discretion”); see also King v. Atiyeh, 814 F.2d 565, 567 (9th Cir. 1987), overruled on other grounds by Lacey v. Maricopa County, 693 F.3d 896 (9th Cir. 2012) (en banc) (pro se litigants are held to same procedural rules as other litigants).

We reject as meritless Bobadilla’s contentions that the district court judge was biased against him.

AFFIRMED.
