Dep’t of the Interior, 876 F.3d 1144, 1173 (9th Cir. 2017). We affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Naufahu’s Rule 60(b)(6) motion because Naufahu failed to demonstrate any basis for relief. See id. (“Rule 60(b) relief should be granted sparingly . . . and only where extraordinary circumstances prevented a party from taking timely action to prevent or correct an erroneous judgment.” (emphasis omitted) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)). We do not consider arguments and allegations raised for the first time on appeal. See Padgett v. Wright, 587 F.3d 983, 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009). AFFIRMED. 2 23-4129
