Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:* Larry Stephen Perry appeals the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint. The district court dismissed his action for failure to prosecute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) and ordered that Perry pay monetary sanctions for Perry's failure to comply with local rules. The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the action without prejudice for failure to prosecute or in imposing monetary sanctions for Perry's failure to comply with local rules.
