Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Jihad Anthony Zogheib appeals from a district court order denying his motion to set aside a stipulated dismissal of his case under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). Zogheib concedes that the named parties are diverse, but contends that the citizenship of fictitious defendants destroyed diversity and deprived the district court of jurisdiction. But Zogheib never sought to substitute named defendants for those sued under fictitious names, and the citizenship of these fictitious defendants has "no jurisdictional significance." See Soliman v. Philip Morris Inc., 311 F.3d 966, 971 (9th Cir.2002). The district court did not clearly err in finding that Zogheib's attorney had authority to enter the dismissal and it did not abuse its discretion in denying the Rule 60(b) motion. Cf. Surety Ins. Co. of Cal. v. Williams, 729 F.2d 581, 583 (8th Cir.1984); Harrop v. W. Airlines, Inc., 550 F.2d 1143, 1145 (9th Cir.1977). Zogheib argues that the court erred by considering his attorney's authority to enter the dismissal instead of whether there was mutual intent tó dismiss. The fact that both parties' attorneys signed the stipulation was evidence of mutual intent to dismiss. Cf. Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1472 (9th Cir.1986).
