FAIZAH NAILAH DEAN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON; INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS 47, a Unincorporated Association, Defendants-Appellees.
NOT FOR PUBLICATION
D.C. No. 5:12-cv-01435-MWF-DTB MEMORANDUM Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California
Michael W. Fitzgerald, District Judge, Presiding Before: TROTT, TASHIMA, and CALLAHAN, Circuit Judges.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.
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 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.
