MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS

2 19-55172
Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Roettgen’s post-
judgment Rule 60(b) motion to vacate because Roettgen failed to demonstrate any
basis for such relief. See id. at 1263 (explaining that Rule 60(b) “provides for
reconsideration only upon a showing of (1) mistake, surprise, or excusable neglect;
(2) newly discovered evidence; (3) fraud; (4) a void judgment; (5) a satisfied or
discharged judgment; or (6) ‘extraordinary circumstances’ which would justify
relief” (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).
To the extent that Roettgen attempts to challenge the district court’s
underlying dismissal, we lack jurisdiction because Roettgen did not timely file a
notice of appeal as to the underlying judgment, or a post-judgment motion that
tolled the time to file a notice of appeal as to the judgment. See Fed. R. App. P.
4(a)(1)(A); 4(a)(4)(A)(vi); Harman v. Harper, 7 F.3d 1455, 1458 (9th Cir. 1993)
(appeal from a denial of a non-tolling Rule 60(b) motion does not bring the entire
underlying judgment up for review).
AFFIRMED.
