Henry Anderson, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Joseph Gums, Defendant,andsuperior Court of San Joaquin County, Defendant-appellee, 70 F.3d 1277 (9th Cir. 1995)

Before: PREGERSON, NORRIS, and REINHARDT, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM^** 

Henry Anderson appeals pro se the district court's dismissal of his action for failure to comply with court orders and to pay sanctions for improperly requesting discovery and improperly opposing a motion for a protective order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we review the district court's dismissal for abuse of discretion, see Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 321 (1992). We vacate and remand.

We find no basis in this record for the sanctions imposed on Anderson. Thus, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing Anderson's action for failing to obey the court orders imposing the sanctions. Therefore, the order imposing sanctions and the order of dismissal are vacated and the case is remanded for further proceedings.

VACATED and REMANDED.
