MEMORANDUM *

Cristian Cervantes appeals the district court’s order denying his application for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60. We reverse and remand with instructions.

1. The district court’s denial was based in part on finding “a slight danger of prejudice” to defendants that “may result” from the delay attributable to Cervantes’s neglect. This finding lacked “support in inferences that may be drawn from the record.” Ahanchian v. Xenon Pictures, Inc., 624 F.3d 1253, 1258 (9th Cir. 2010). The defendants did not oppose Cervantes’s application for relief, and at oral argument before this court counsel for defendants could not identify any actual prejudice arising from Cervantes’s neglect. “[T]he mere possibility of prejudice from delay, which is inherent in every case, is insufficient to require denial of a 60(b)(1) motion.” Bateman v. U.S. Postal Serv., 231 F.3d 1220, 1225 (9th Cir. 2000) (quoting Hibernia Nat'l Bank v. Administracion Cent. Sociedad Anonima, 776 F.2d 1277, 1280 (5th Cir. 1985)).

2. In light of the lack of prejudice, the district court’s finding of good faith, and the reasonably prompt filing of the Rule 60(b) application, a proper exercise of discretion required granting Cervantes’s application for relief. On remand, the district court shall enter an order providing a reasonable period of time for Cervantes to file a Second Amended Complaint.

REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
