discretion. Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d
1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Seevers’s motion

reconsideration. See id. at 1263 (Rule 60(b) permits reconsideration only upon a

evidence; (3) fraud; (4) a void judgment; (5) a satisfied or discharged judgment; or
(6) extraordinary circumstances that would justify relief).
Seevers’s remaining contentions are unpersuasive.
AFFIRMED.
