Opinion

*596 PER CURIAM.

William Z. Shen appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his employment-discrimination and breach-of-contract action, without prejudice, for failure to prosecute. We review for abuse of discretion, see Garland v. Peebles, 1 F.3d 683, 686 (8th Cir. 1993), and find none. Shen’s alleged difficulties with legal representation, though regrettable, do not excuse him from the litigant’s responsibility to comply with the district court’s substantive and procedural requirements. See Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 633-34, 82 S.Ct. 1386, 8 L.Ed.2d 734 (1962); Brown v. Frey, 806 F.2d 801, 804 (8th Cir.1986). Accordingly, we affirm. We deny Shen’s post-appeal motion.
