The following excerpt is from Conley v. Van Sickle, 24 F.3d 245 (9th Cir. 1994):
We review the district court's dismissal order for abuse of discretion. Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 113 S.Ct. 321 (1992). Under this standard, we will not disturb the order unless we have "a definite and firm conviction that the court below committed a clear error of judgment in the conclusion it reached upon a weighing of the relevant factors." Id. (quotations omitted).
