Phu Nay v. Loretta E. Lynch

Opinion

*600 MEMORANDUM **

Phu Luc Nay appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for relief from judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(2). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the denial of a motion for relief from judgement. Casey v. Albertson’s Inc., 362 F.3d 1254, 1257 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Nay’s motion for relief from judgment where Nay did not show that the evidence he sought to introduce was new evidence that could not have been discovered through due diligence within 28 days of the judgment. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(2); Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(b); Feature Realty, Inc. v. City of Spokane, 331 F.3d 1082, 1093 (9th Cir. 2003) (setting forth the three part test for relief from judgment under Rule 60(b)(2)).

In light of this disposition, we do not reach Nay’s contention that the district court abused its discretion in determining that the purported new evidence would not have changed its prior decision. See Matus-Leva v. United States, 287 F.3d 758, 760 (9th Cir. 2002) (where the requirements for relief are conjunctive, failure to meet any one of them is fatal).

AFFIRMED.
