                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Central District of California
                    R. Gary Klausner, District Judge, Presiding.

                             Submitted May 13, 2015**

Before:        LEAVY, CALLAHAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

      Phu Luc Nay appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his

motion for relief from judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(2).

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of

discretion the denial of a motion for relief from judgement. Casey v. Albertson’s

Inc., 362 F.3d 1254, 1257 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

      The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Nay’s motion for

relief from judgment where Nay did not show that the evidence he sought to

introduce was new evidence that could not have been discovered through due

diligence within 28 days of the judgment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(2); Fed. R.

Civ. P. 59(b); Feature Realty, Inc., v. City of Spokane, 331 F.3d 1082, 1093 (9th

Cir. 2003) (setting forth the three part test for relief from judgment under Rule

60(b)(2)).

      In light of this disposition, we do not reach Nay’s contention that the district

court abused its discretion in determining that the purported new evidence would

not have changed its prior decision. See Matus-Leva v. United States, 287 F.3d
758, 760 (9th Cir. 2002) (where the requirements for relief are conjunctive, failure

to meet any one of them is fatal).

      AFFIRMED.
