The following excerpt is from Gates v. Gomez, Case No.: 17-cv-00901-WQH-BGS (S.D. Cal. 2018):
for failure to comply with local rules, district courts "weigh several factors: '(1) the public's interest in expeditious resolution of litigation; (2) the court's need to manage its docket; (3) the risk of prejudice to the defendants; (4) the public policy favoring disposition of cases of their merits; and (5) the availability of less drastic sanctions.'" Ghazali, 46 F.3d at 53 (quoting Henderson v. Duncan, 779 F.2d 1421, 1423 (9th Cir. 1986)).
