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.
