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 in denying Davis’s motion for
reconsideration because Davis failed to establish any basis for such relief.
See id. at 1262-63 (setting forth grounds for relief under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) and
60(b)).
We lack jurisdiction to consider Davis’s contentions regarding the district
court’s grant of summary judgment because Davis failed to file a timely notice of
appeal or a timely post-judgment tolling motion after the district court entered
judgment on May 18, 2016. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(a)(1)(A) (a notice of appeal
must be filed within 30 days after the entry of judgment); Stephanie-Cardona LLC
v. Smith’s Food & Drug Ctrs., Inc., 476 F.3d 701, 703 (9th Cir. 2007) (“A
timely notice of appeal is a non-waivable jurisdictional requirement.”); Fiester v.
Turner, 783 F.2d 1474, 1475 (9th Cir. 1986) (under Rule 4(a)(4), an untimely post-
judgment motion does not toll time to appeal from the judgment).
We reject as without merit Davis’s contention that the district court abused
its discretion in denying Davis’s motion for leave to amend his complaint as moot.
We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued
in the opening brief, or arguments and allegations raised for the first time on
