 6        Appeal from a judgment of the United States District
 7   Court for the Southern District of New York (Preska, J.).
 8
 9        UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED
10   AND DECREED that the judgment of the district court be
11   AFFIRMED.
12
13        This is an appeal from the denial of Yeheskel Dattner’s
14   motion under Rule 60(b)(6) to reinstate his action, which
15   had been dismissed in 2003 for forum non conveniens. We
16   assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts,
17   the procedural history, and the issues presented for review.
18
19        We conclude that Dattner’s appeal is without merit
20   substantially for the reasons articulated by the district
21   court in its well-reasoned decision. We have considered all
22   of Dattner’s remaining arguments and find them to be without
23   merit.
24
25        For the foregoing reasons, we hereby AFFIRM the
26   judgment of the district court.
