MEMORANDUM **

Mark Tarka appeals pro se the district court’s denial of his Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) and Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(5) motions. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Tarka brought suit against Montana State University employees and students under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983 and 2000e-2(a), alleging civil rights violations, discrimination, and libel. The district court, on the recommendation of a magistrate judge, dismissed Tarka’s complaint for various defects. Tarka filed a motion under Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b) for relief from the district court’s judgment and order. He also sought an extension of time to file a notice of appeal of the dismissal under Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(5). The district court denied both motions, and Tarka now appeals.

I. Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)

We review the district court’s denial of a motion to vacate a judgment under Rule 60(b) for. an abuse of discretion. Thompson v. Calderon, 151 F.3d 918, 920 (9th Cir. 1998) (citation omitted). A district court abuses its discretion if it does not apply the correct law or if it rests its decision on a clearly erroneous finding of material fact. United States v. Washington, 98 F.3d 1159, 1163 (9th Cir. 1996) (quotations and citation omitted).

Tarka claimed that relief was appropriate because there was surprise, discovery of new evidence, and misconduct on the part of opposing counsel. See Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b)(1), (2), & (3). The district court denied Tarka’s motion on its finding that Tarka’s allegations were unsubstantiated. The record supports the district court’s conclusion, therefore it did not abuse its discretion. We affirm the denial of Tarka’s Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) motion.1

II. Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(5)

We also review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s denial of a motion for an extension of time to file a notice of appeal. Alaska Limestone Corp. v. Hodel, 799 F.2d 1409, 1411 (9th Cir. 1986). The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Tarka’s request for an extension. Tarka failed to establish “good cause” for an extension.2 See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(5).

AFFIRMED.
