Faizah Dean v. Southern California Edison
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Faizah Nailah Dean appeals pro se from the district court’s order rejecting Dean’s fourth post-judgment motion for relief from the district court’s order granting summary judgment. We have jurisdiction *650 under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s decision to deny a Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion. Casey v. Albertson’s Inc., 362 F.3d 1254, 1257 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting Dean’s Rule 60(b) motion where Dean failed to file it “within a reasonable time”. Fed. R. Civ. P. 60 (c); Ashford v. Steuart, 657 F.2d 1053, 1055 (9th Cir. 1981) (setting forth factors to determine whether a Fed. R, Civ. P. 60(b)(1)-(3) motion has been filed within a “reasonable time”; where the time for a direct appeal has passed, “the interest in finality must be given great weight”).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
