Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California David O. Carter, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted February 15, 2022**

Before: FERNANDEZ, TASHIMA, and FRIEDLAND, Circuit Judges.

California state prisoner Shikeb Saddozai appeals pro se from the district

* 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). court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C § 1983 action concerning the inmate

grievance process. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for

an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to prosecute. Carey v. King, 856 F.2d

1439, 1440 (9th Cir. 1988). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Saddozai’s action

because Saddozai failed to file an amended complaint, a notice of election to stand

on his complaint, or a request for an additional extension of time, despite being

warned that failure to respond would result in dismissal. See id. (factors to be

considered in determining whether to dismiss an action for failure to prosecute).

AFFIRMED.
