U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 141 F.3d 1169 (8th Cir. 1998) Submitted Feb. 6, 1998Decided Feb. 25, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska

Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Michael McCaslin appeals from a final order of the United States District Court1  for the District of Nebraska dismissing his complaint with prejudice for failure to prosecute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We have carefully reviewed the entire record, and we conclude the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying McCaslin his third appointed counsel or in dismissing the action for failure to prosecute. See Swope v. Cameron, 73 F.3d 850, 851-52 (8th Cir. 1996) (standard of review for denial of appointment of counsel); Sterling v. United States, 985 F.2d 411, 412 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam) (standard of review for Rule 41(b) dismissal).

Accordingly, we affirm.
