ORDER
BRIAN MORRIS, District Judge.
This Court previously dismissed with prejudice all of Plaintiff Genet McCann's (McCann) claims. (Doc. 77 at 17.) McCann timely filed a notice of appeal of that decision on August 26, 2019. (Doc. 81.) McCann also filed two separate motions in this Court under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b)(4) and 15 to set aside the previous dismissal and grant her leave to file a first amended complaint. (Doc. 79 and Doc. 82.)
"The filing of a notice of appeal . . . confers jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests the district court of its control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal." Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982) (per curiam); Townley v. Miller, 693 F.3d 1041, 1042 (9th Cir. 2012) (holding that under Griggs the appellate court has jurisdiction over appeals from a district court order); BNSF Ry. Co. v. Feit, No. 10-cv-54, No. 11-cv-01, 2014 WL 12769807, at *1 (D. Mont. Apr. 2, 2014) (same). McCann's Notice of Appeal divests this court of jurisdiction over her Rule 60 motion because the motion involves the same issues now on appeal.
ORDER
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that McCann's Rule 60 Motion to Set Aside Judgment and Request Leave to Amend (Doc. 79) and McCann's Rule 60 Motion to Set Aside Judgment and Request Leave to Amend (Doc. 82) are DENIED, subject to renewal following the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision on the pending appeal.
