R. 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). Before: GOODWIN, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges. Mykal S. Ryan, Special Administrator for the Estate of John James Ryan, appeals pro se from the district court s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging due process and equal protection violations in connection with the enforcement of a default judgment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to comply with a prefiling order. In re Fillbach, 223 F.3d 1089, 1090 (9th Cir. 2000). We affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing this action because Ryan failed to comply with the vexatious litigant order entered against him, which required him to obtain court approval before filing an action involving these defendants and issues. See id. We reject Ryan s contentions of alleged judicial bias and prejudice. We deny Ryan s outstanding requests. AFFIRMED. 2 13-55041
