FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
No. 02-30903
Summary Calendar
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JOSE LUIS GARCIA,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 95-CR-66-1
--------------------
February 19, 2003
Before DAVIS, WIENER, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jose Luis Garcia, federal prisoner number 21394-034, appeals
the denial of his motion under FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b) requesting
the district court to set aside its order denying his motion
under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. He argues that he did not know that the
order denying his habeas petition had been entered because the
Clerk failed to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
The district court’s denial of a Rule 60(b) motion is reviewed
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 02-30903
-2-
for abuse of discretion. Dunn v. Cockrell,
302 F.3d 491, 492
(5th Cir. 2002).
Under Rule 60(b), the district court may relieve a party
from a final judgment for (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise,
or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence; (3) fraud,
misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party;
(4) a void judgment; (5) a satisfied, released, or discharged
judgment; or (6) any other reason justifying relief from the
operation of the judgment. FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b). Any claim
based upon subsections (1), (2), or (3) would be time barred as
Garcia did not file his Rule 60(b) motion within one year of the
denial of his § 2255 motion. See
id. Subsections (4) and (5)
have no application, and Garcia has not shown “any other reason
justifying relief from the judgment.” FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b)(6).
The district court did not abuse its discretion; the order
denying Garcia’s Rule 60(b) motion is AFFIRMED.
