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

because Al Saud failed to comply with Rule 8 despite prior warnings and

instructions regarding the federal pleading requirements. See Bell Atl. Corp. v.

Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (Rule 8 requires the complaint “give the

defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it rests”

(alteration in original, citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); McHenry,

84 F.3d at 1178 (complaint does not comply with Rule 8 if “one cannot determine

from the complaint who is being sued, for what relief, and on what theory”).

AFFIRMED.
