Timothy Watts v. R. Ramos

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Timothy L. Watts appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying Watts’s post-judgment motion for reconsideration in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. 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), and we affirm.

*435 The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Watts’s motion for reconsideration because Watts failed to establish grounds for such relief. See id. at 1262-63 (explaining circumstances warranting reconsideration or relief from judgment under Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) and 60(b)).

We do not consider the medical records and prison transfer documents attached to Watts’s opening brief because these documents were not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias, 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990) (“Documents or facts not presented to the district court are not part of the record on appeal.”).

To the extent that Watts seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his various discovery motions, we lack jurisdiction because Watts failed to file a timely notice of appeal or a timely post-judgment tolling motion. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), (a)(4)(A); Stephanie-Cardona LLC v. Smith’s Food & Drug Ctrs., Inc., 476 F.3d 701, 703 (9th Cir. 2007) (“A timely notice of appeal is a non-waivable jurisdictional requirement.”).

AFFIRMED.
