9 TED R. BASSETT, Case No. 2:21-cv-00697-RFB-BNW

10 Petitioner, ORDER v. 11

12 C. JOHNSON, et al.,

13 Respondents.

14 15 In June 2021, this court dismissed Ted R. Bassett’s pro se

petition for 16 writ of habeas corpus, and judgment was entered (ECF Nos. 5, 6). Bassett has filed a motion for 17 reconsideration (ECF No. 8). As discussed below, the motion is denied. 18 Rule 60(b) entitles the moving party to relief from judgment on several grounds, including 19 the catch-all category “any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment.” 20 Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(6). A motion under subsections (b)(4-6) must be brought “within a reasonable 21 time.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(c)(1). Rule 60(b) applies in habeas corpus proceedings only to the extent 22 that it is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act 23 (AEDPA). 24 Here, Bassett claims that the court incorrectly viewed his petition as only challenging his 25 parole revocation (ECF No. 8). Despite his attempts to reframe his state-law claims related to the 26 rescinding of his parole, they are not claims that he is in custody in violation of his federal 27 constitutional rights. And, as the court stated in its previous order, if Bassett claims that the parole 1|| receive a new parole hearing, such claims are noncognizable in habeas corpus because success on such claims would not necessarily lead to speedier release. See Nettles v. Grounds,

(9th Cir. 2016). See also Nevada Court of Appeals Case No. 81405. Bassett’s claims are not 4|| cognizable in federal habeas. He has presented no basis for the court to reconsider its order 5|| dismissing the petition. Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is denied. 6 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that petitioner’s motion for reconsideration (ECF No. 7|| 8)is DENIED. 8 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a certificate of appealability is denied. 10 DATED: 28 October 2021. “men 11
