   MEMORANDUM

Earl Warner, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for relief from judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging prison officials discriminated against him with regard to his work assignment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion, Latshaw v. Trainer Wortham & Co., Inc., 452 F.3d 1097, 1100 (9th Cir.2006), and we affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Warner’s motion for relief from judgment because Warner failed to show that the mental breakdown he suffered while the summary judgment motion was pending constituted a basis for relief from the judgment. See Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b); Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir.1993) (setting forth grounds justifying relief).

We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief, arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir.2009) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
