 7        Appeal from a judgment of the United States District
 8   Court for the Southern District of New York (Preska, J.).
 9
10        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED
11   AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be
12   AFFIRMED.
13
14        This is an appeal from the denial of Yeheskel Dattner’s
15   motion under Rule 60(b)(6) to reinstate his action, which
16   had been dismissed in 2003 for forum non conveniens. We
17   assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts,
18   the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.
19
20        We conclude that Dattner’s appeal is without merit
21   substantially for the reasons articulated by the district
22   court in its well-reasoned decision. We have considered all
23   of Dattner’s remaining arguments and find them to be without
24   merit.
25
26        For the foregoing reasons, we hereby AFFIRM the
27   judgment of the district court.
