This panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2).

Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
California state prisoner Frank Irvin Moppins appeals pro se the district court's denial of his motion for reconsideration of the district court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition, alleging that the Board of Prison Terms (the "Board") violated his due process rights when the Board found him unsuitable for parole at a 1999 parole hearing.
We review the denial of a Rule 60(b) motion for an abuse of discretion. Greenawalt v. Stewart, 105 F.3d 1268, 1273 (9th Cir.1997) (per curiam). We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.
Moppins' motion to vacate the judgment did not specify any adequate grounds for relief. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b); Tomlin v. McDaniel, 865 F.2d 209, 210-211 (9th Cir.1989). The District Court, therefore, did not abuse its discretion in denying the Rule 60(b) motion because no extraordinary circumstances exist that would justify relief. See id.
AFFIRMED.
