Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington James L. Robart, District Judge, Presiding Submitted November 18, 2014** Before: LEAVY, FISHER, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Aaliyah Zakat appeals pro se from the district court’s orders denying her motions for reconsideration of its orders dismissing her diversity action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and denying her prior reconsideration motions. We

We review for an abuse of discretion.

Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993) (motion for reconsideration); Hinton v. Pac. Enters., 5 F.3d 391, 395 (9th Cir. 1993) (compliance with local rules). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Zakat’s second and third motions for reconsideration because Zakat failed to establish a basis for such relief. See W.D. Wash. R. 7(h)(1) (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under local rules); Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or., 5 F.3d at 1263 (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure).

AFFIRMED.
