ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Cravalho’s motions
for reconsideration because Cravalho failed to demonstrate any basis for relief.
See id. at 1262-63 (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P.
59(e) and 60(b)).
We do not consider Cravalho’s contentions regarding the underlying
judgment because Cravalho failed to file a timely notice of appeal of that
judgment. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (notice of appeal must be filed within 30
days of judgment); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(A)(iv), (vi) (post-judgment tolling
motions must be filed within 28 days of the entry of judgment); Swimmer v. IRS,
811 F.2d 1343, 1344-45 (9th Cir. 1987) (an untimely second motion for
reconsideration does not toll time to appeal the underlying judgment), abrogated
on other grounds by Briones v. Riviera Hotel & Casino, 116 F.3d 379 (9th Cir.
1997).
AFFIRMED.
