Yvette Daniel (“Daniel”) appeals the district court’s order denying her motion for relief from judgment. Daniel, however, is actually attempting to appeal once again the district court’s decision to grant summary judgment. We previously dismissed her appeal for lack of prosecution and our circuit has a “firm rule of not allowing a 60(b) motion to substitute for an appeal.” In re Air Crash at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, 852 F.2d 842, 844 (5th Cir. 1988). See also Lancaster v. Presley, 35 F.3d 229, 231 (5th Cir. 1994). Moreover, Daniel has failed to show that the district court abused its discretion in denying her relief from judgment. See Tollett v. City of Kemah, 285 F.3d 357, 369 (5th Cir. 2002). Finally, we find that her motion was untimely because it was filed after the one year deadline set out in Fed.R.CivP. 60(b). Accordingly, we DISMISS Daniel’s appeal. Daniel’s motion for judge appointed mediation is DENIED AS MOOT.
