Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

William James appeals pro se from the district court’s order sua sponte dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to comply with the district court’s order. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Pagtalunan v. Galaza, 291 F.3d 639, 640 (9th Cir. 2002), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing James’ action after James failed to comply with court orders and meet deadlines. See id. at 642-43 (setting forth the factors to consider before dismissing for failure to comply with a court order).

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying James’ motion for appointment of counsel because James failed to demonstrate exceptional circumstances. See Cano v. Taylor, 739 F.3d 1214, 1218 (9th Cir. 2014) (setting forth standard of review and requirements for appointment of counsel).

AFFIRMED.
