Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of California
John A. Mendez, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted September 13, 2016**
Before: HAWKINS, N.R. SMITH, and HURWITZ, Circuit Judges.
William J. Whitsitt appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his
motion for relief from final judgment in his employment action alleging federal
and state law claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for

an abuse of discretion. Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5
F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Whitsitt’s motion
for relief from judgment because Whitsitt failed to demonstrate any basis for relief.
See id. at 1263 (setting forth grounds for relief from judgment under Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b)).
We lack jurisdiction to review Whitsitt’s challenges to the district court’s
prior orders because Whitsitt did not file a timely notice of appeal or a timely
post-judgment tolling motion after the district court entered judgment on March
12, 2013. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (notice of appeal must be filed within 30
days after entry of judgment); Stephanie-Cardona LLC v. Smith’s Food & Drug
Ctrs., Inc., 476 F.3d 701, 703 (9th Cir. 2007) (“A timely notice of appeal is a
non-waivable jurisdictional requirement.”).
Contrary to Whitsitt’s contention that he was labeled a vexatious litigant, the
record does not indicate that a vexatious litigant order has been entered against
him.
We reject as without merit Whitsitt’s contentions that the district court was
biased against him.
Whitsitt’s pending requests and motions, set forth in his opening and reply
2 14-15462
briefs, are denied.
AFFIRMED.
