Dismissal under Rule 41(b) is a sanction, to be imposed only in "extreme circumstances." Dahl v. City of Huntington Beach, 84 F.3d 363, 366 (9th Cir.1996) (quoting Thompson v. Housing Auth. of Los Angeles, 782 F.2d 829, 831 (9th Cir. 1986) (per curiam)). The district court was clearly aggravated by Edwards's choice not to amend the RICO claim when given the chance. But Edwards's considered decision to forego amending her complaint was perfectly proper, and was not sanctionable.
