MEMORANDUM*


2
California state prisoner Jack Bruce McNeill, Jr., appeals pro se the district court's Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b) dismissal with prejudice of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failing to comply with a magistrate judge's order requiring McNeill to submit a third amended complaint.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.  We review for abuse of discretion, see Ferdik v. Bonzelt, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260 (9th Cir.1992), and we affirm.


3
McNeill contends that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing his action.  We disagree.


4
The record demonstrates that the magistrate judge afforded McNeill several opportunities to amend his complaint and explained the deficiencies of his first and second amended complaints and his proposed third amended complaint.  See id. at 1261-62.   In addition, the magistrate explicitly warned McNeill that his failure to comply with the filing deadlines for amendment could result in the dismissal of his action.  See id.;   see also Malone v. United States Postal Serv., 833 F.2d 128, 132-33 (9th Cir.1987).  Moreover, McNeill concedes in his reply brief that he "missed the deadline for filing [the] 'Third Amended' complaint."   Accordingly, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing McNeill's action for failing to submit a third amended complaint.  See Ferdik, 963 F.2d at 1261-63.


5
We reject McNeill's contention that the district court erred by not mandating his presence at oral argument on his Fed.R.Civ.P. 35(a) motion for a mental and physical exam, because "[a] prisoner ... cannot demand to be present at any stage in the development of his civil case[.]"  See Hernandez v. Whiting, 881 F.2d 768, 770-71 (9th Cir.1989).  To the extent that McNeill contends he was entitled to the appointment of counsel, we likewise reject this contention because McNeill has not demonstrated extraordinary circumstances.  See Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1017 (9th Cir.1991).


6
AFFIRMED.



**
 Because the panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument, we deny McNeill's request for oral argument.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a);  9th Cir.  R. 34-4
