             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
   Roderic Malcolm Schmidt appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying

his motion to reopen his diversity action following the dismissal of his

claims pursuant to a settlement agreement. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C.

§ 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cty.,

Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.

   The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying plaintiff’s motion to

reopen the case because plaintiff failed to demonstrate any grounds for such relief.

See id. at 1262-63 (listing grounds warranting relief from judgment under Fed. R.

Civ. P. 59(e) and 60(b)).

   We lack jurisdiction to consider the district court’s order denying plaintiff’s

renewed motion to reopen the case because plaintiff’s amended notice of appeal

was untimely. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(ii); Whitaker v. Garcetti, 486 F.3d

572, 585 (9th Cir. 2007).

   All pending motions and requests are denied.

   AFFIRMED.
