Williams v. City of Los Angeles

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of the plaintiffs' civil-rights and related claims because they failed to comply with an order requiring a brief addressing whether further leave to amend should be granted. The court held that the dismissal was within the district court's discretion and declined to review earlier orders granting defendants' motions to dismiss because those interlocutory orders were not appealable after the action was dismissed as a sanction.
