MEMORANDUM **

David Worth O’Beirn appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for relief from judgment in his Federal Tort Claims Act action. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Latshaw v. Trainer Wortham & Co., 452 F.3d 1097, 1100 (9th Cir. 2006). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying O’Beirn’s Rule 60(b) motion because he did not demonstrate any ground for relief from judgment or for reconsideration. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b); see also 38 U.S.C. § 511(a) (providing that decisions related to the provision of a veteran’s benefits “may not be reviewed by any court, whether by an action in the nature of mandamus or otherwise.”); Hicks v. Small, 69 F.3d 967, 969 (9th Cir. 1995).

To the extent that O’Beirn challenges the underlying judgment, we lack appellate jurisdiction. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a); Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(b)(2).

We do not consider O’Beirn’s arguments raised for the first time on appeal. See Bias v. Moynihan, 508 F.3d 1212, 1223 (9th Cir. 2007).

O’Beirn’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

O’Beirn’s pending motions are denied.

AFFIRMED.
