Kenneth L. Wainstein, et al.,

Appellees

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Kavanaugh and Srinivasan, Circuit Judges, and Ginsburg, Senior

Circuit Judge

J U D G M E N T

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court

for the District of Columbia and on appellant’s brief. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C.

Cir. Rule 34(j). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court's order, filed April 6, 2015, be

affirmed. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's Rule 60(b)

motion. See Armenian Assembly of America, Inc. v. Cafesjian, 758 F.3d 265, 283 (D.C.

Cir. 2014) (citation omitted). Appellant failed to make the requisite showing under Heck

v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 486-87 (1994), to demonstrate entitlement to monetary

damages for an allegedly unlawful conviction – in 2013, his conviction and sentence

were affirmed, and his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion was denied. Appellant failed to

demonstrate any other basis for relief under Rule 60(b). 

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk

is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution
