Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 76 F.3d 391 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted Jan. 23, 1996. *Decided Jan. 26, 1996

Before: ALARCON, HALL, and BRUNETTI, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Hope and Karl Wudtke appeal pro se the district court's dismissal of their 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. They contend the district court erred when it dismissed their action with prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion, Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S. Ct. 321 (1992), and affirm.

The Wudtkes contend the district court erred when it: denied their motions for default pursuant to Rule 37, for judgment on the pleadings, and to disqualify the district court judge; and dismissed their action with prejudice for refusing to comply with discovery orders. We disagree for the reasons stated by the district court.1 

AFFIRMED.

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

If we had jurisdiction to consider the Wudtkes' motions to disbar Defendants' counsel and for impeachment proceedings against the district court judge, we would deny their motions as frivolous
