Donald Bailey v. United States

FILED NOT FOR PUBLICATION JUN 21 2010 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS U .S. C O U R T OF APPE ALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT DONALD D. BAILEY, No. 08-17305 Plaintiff - Appellant, D.C. No. 4:05-CV-00310-CKJ v. MEMORANDUM * UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona Cindy K. Jorgenson, District Judge, Presiding Submitted May 25, 2010 ** Before: CANBY, THOMAS, and W. FLETCHER, Circuit Judges. Donald D. Bailey appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for relief from judgment, following a bench trial, in his action seeking an income tax refund for 1992. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. * 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). Accordingly, Bailey’s motion for a hearing is denied. We review for an abuse of discretion, Coastal Transfer Co. v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., 833 F.2d 208, 211 (9th Cir. 1987), and we affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying relief under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(2) and (3) because Bailey failed to satisfy the requirements for relief. See Feature Realty, Inc. v. City of Spokane, 331 F.3d 1082, 1093 (9th Cir. 2003) (listing requirements for relief under Rule 60(b)(2) and explaining that information known by an attorney prior to judgment cannot be considered newly discovered evidence even if a client learns of it only after judgment); De Saracho v. Custom Food Mach., Inc., 206 F.3d 874, 880-81 (9th Cir. 2000) (listing requirements for relief under Rule 60(b)(3) and affirming denial of relief where party failed to present evidence that testimony was false). Bailey’s motion for an extension of time to file a motion for leave to file supplemental briefing is denied. AFFIRMED. 2 08-17305
