ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Moniz’s motion for
reconsideration because Moniz failed to establish any basis for such relief.
See id. at 1262-63 (setting forth grounds for relief under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) and
60(b)).
The district court did not abuse its discretion in granting JPMorgan Chase’s
Rule 60(a) motion and amending the judgment to clarify that its dismissal of
JPMorgan Chase’s action was without prejudice because the amended judgment
reflects the original intent of the court. See Garamendi v. Henin, 683 F.3d 1069,
1077, 1079 (9th Cir. 2012) (setting forth standard of review and noting that “Rule
60(a) allows a court to clarify a judgment in order to correct a failure to
memorialize part of its decision” (internal quotation marks omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
