Geoffrey Lawson v. Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC, 667 F. App'x 905 (9th Cir. 2016)

Geoffrey Lawson v. Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Geoffrey Robert Lawson, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s orders denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motions in his action alleging wrongful foreclosure and other federal and state law violations. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Lawson’s Rule 60(b) motions because Lawson failed to demonstrate any grounds for relief. See id. at 1263 (grounds for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)); see also Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v. Brunswick Assocs. Ltd. P’ship, 507 U.S. 380, 394-95, 113 S.Ct. 1489, 123 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993); Briones v. Riviera Hotel & Casino, 116 F.3d 379, 381-82 (9th Cir. 1997).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).

All pending motions and requests are denied.

AFFIRMED.
