Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
John A. Mendez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted July 22, 2014**
Before: GOODWIN, CANBY, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
Nadeem Ahmad appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his
motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of his action arising from foreclosure
proceedings. 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

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
**
The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993) (motion for reconsideration); Hinton v. Pac.
Enters., 5 F.3d 391, 395 (9th Cir. 1993) (compliance with local rules). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Ahmad’s motion
for reconsideration because Ahmad failed to establish grounds for such relief. See
E.D. Cal. R. 230(j)(3)-(4) (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under local
rules); Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or., 5 F.3d at 1263 (setting forth
grounds for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)). We reject Ahmad’s
arguments concerning the merits of his claim.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Ahmad’s motion to
reopen the time to appeal the judgment. See Arai v. Am. Bryce Ranches Inc., 316
F.3d 1066, 1069-70 (9th Cir. 2003) (setting forth standard of review and
explaining that district court has discretion to deny motion to reopen the time to
appeal the judgment even when Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6)’s requirements are met).
AFFIRMED.
