court’s ruling on a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). Phillips v.
Gilman (In re Gilman), 887 F.3d 956, 963 (9th Cir. 2018). We affirm.
The bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in denying Shalaby’s Rule
60(b) motion because Shalaby failed to demonstrate any basis for relief. See Fed.
R. Bankr. P. 9024 (making Rule 60 applicable to bankruptcy cases); Latshaw v.
Trainer Wortham & Co., 452 F.3d 1097, 1102-03 (9th Cir. 2006) (discussing
required showing for Rule 60(b)(6) relief and explaining that relief may be granted
“only where extraordinary circumstances” are present (citations and quotation
marks omitted)); SEC v. Coldicutt, 258 F.3d 939, 941 (9th Cir. 2001) (discussing
conditions under which a court may modify an order under Rule 60(b)(5)).
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued
in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
Shalaby’s motion for summary disposition (Docket Entry No. 11) is denied
as moot.
AFFIRMED.
