MEMORANDUM*

ALPHABET INC., DBA Blogger, DBA Google Adsense, DBA Google, Inc., DBA YouTube, LLC; et al.,

Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Jon S. Tigar, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted August 19, 2019**

Before: SCHROEDER, PAEZ, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.

Harry J. Williby appeals pro se from the district court’s order dismissing his

action alleging federal and state law claims in connection with the operation of his

YouTube channels. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Williby’s request for oral argument, set forth in the opening brief, is denied. an abuse of discretion a dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Ferdik v. Bonzelet,

963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir. 1992). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Williby’s action

because Williby failed to cure the deficiencies in his complaint, as ordered. See id.

at 1260-63 (setting forth factors for determining whether a pro se action should be

dismissed under Rule 41(b) and requiring a definite and firm conviction that the

trial court committed a clear error of judgment in order to overturn such a

dismissal).

Williby’s contention that Judge Tigar should have recused himself is

unpersuasive.

Williby’s motion for judicial notice, or in the alternative, to supplement the

record on appeal, is denied as unnecessary.

AFFIRMED.
