IN RE: AMERICAN APPAREL, INC., 2014 Derivative Shareholder Litigation, PETER KRAVITZ, as Trustee for and on behalf of AAI Litigation Trust, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. DOV CHARNEY, ET AL., Defendants-Appellees.
MEMORANDUM*
Litigation Trustee Peter Kravitz appeals the district court's order of dismissal under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute or comply with a court order. The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the case under Rule 41(b). See Yourish v. Cal. Amplifier, 191 F.3d 983 (9th Cir. 1999); Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258 (9th Cir. 1992). On this record, the relevant factors weigh in favor of dismissal and the district court was not required to issue a clear warning or attempt less drastic alternatives before dismissing the action without prejudice.
AFFIRMED.
