Chasidah Avraham, Plaintiff-appellant, v. John Dalton, Secretary; Dept. of Defense; China Lake Firedepartment, Defendants-appellees, 139 F.3d 903 (9th Cir. 1998)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 139 F.3d 903 (9th Cir. 1998) Decided Feb. 23, 1998. Submitted February 9, 1998. **

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Richard A. Paez, District Judge, Presiding.

Before PREGERSON, CANBY and LEAVY, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM* 

Chasidah B.D. Avraham appeals pro se the district court's dismissal with prejudice of her second amended complaint for failing to comply with the pleading requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 8. We affirm.

The district court provided Avraham with specific guidance on how to amend her complaint to satisfy Rule 8's pleading requirements. Despite the district court's guidance, Avraham's second amended complaint is unclear and rambling. Under these circumstances, the district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Avraham's second amended complaint with prejudice. See McHenry v. Renne, 84 F.2d 1172, 1177-78 (9th Cir. 1996).

AFFIRMED.

 **

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
