The following excerpt is from Singh v. Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, 141 F.3d 1179 (9th Cir. 1998):
The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Singh's action for failure to prosecute in light of his failure to file an amended complaint within the time specified by the district court, despite the district court's warning that failure to do so would result in the dismissal with prejudice of his case. The district court weighed the appropriate factors in determining whether to dismiss Singh's action, see Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440 (9th Cir.1988), and demonstrated an adequate sensitivity to Singh's inexperience as a pro se litigant.
We reject Singh's unsupported assertion that his action was dismissed because the magistrate judge and the district judge were biased against him. See Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 555, 114 S.Ct. 1147, 127 L.Ed.2d 474 (1994).
