Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California William Alsup, District Judge, Presiding

Submitted August 20, 2024**

Before: S.R. THOMAS, RAWLINSON, and COLLINS, Circuit Judges.

Rahila Tarverdiyeva and Vijay Tandon appeal pro se from the district

court’s order denying their motion for relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

* This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2). 60(b)(3) in their civil action alleging fraud and related claims. We have

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Casey

v. Albertson’s Inc, 362 F.3d 1254, 1257 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying plaintiffs’ motion

under Rule 60(b)(3) because plaintiffs failed to demonstrate any grounds for relief.

See id. at 1260 (to prevail under Rule 60(b)(3), the “moving party must prove by

clear and convincing evidence” that judgment was obtained through fraud,

misrepresentation, or other misconduct that was not “discoverable by due diligence

before or during the proceedings” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

We reject as without merit plaintiffs’ contention that the district court was

required to hold a hearing on plaintiffs’ Rule 60(b)(3) motion.

We do not consider plaintiffs’ contentions regarding the underlying

judgment because plaintiffs failed to file a timely notice of appeal as to the

judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (notice of appeal must be filed within 30

days of judgment).

AFFIRMED.
