The following excerpt is from Kingston v. Musgrave, 914 F.2d 262 (9th Cir. 1990):
Kingston was given notice of the deficiencies of his complaint and two opportunities to amend. He nevertheless failed to amend his complaint. Hence, the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Kingston's action for failure to prosecute. See Tolbert v. Leighton, 623 F.2d 585, 586 (9th Cir.1980).
