What is the test for dismissing a motion for failure to comply with a court order?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Jones, In re, 972 F.2d 1340 (9th Cir. 1992):

A court must weigh five factors in determining whether to dismiss for failure to comply with a court order: "(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 on their merits; and (5) the availability of less drastic sanctions." Thompson v. Housing Authority of City of Los Angeles, 782 F.2d 829, 831 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 829 (1986).
