United States v. Joseph Martin

NOT FOR PUBLICATION FILED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FEB 9 2023 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, No. 21-10239 Plaintiff-Appellee, D.C. No. 2:14-cr-00678-DGC-1 v. JOSEPH MARTIN, MEMORANDUM* Defendant-Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Arizona David G. Campbell, District Judge, Presiding Submitted February 7, 2023** Phoenix, Arizona Before: HAWKINS, GRABER, and CHRISTEN, Circuit Judges. Defendant Joseph Martin (“Martin”) appeals the denial of his motion for relief from judgment filed under Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. * This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3. ** The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).  Martin cannot challenge the final order at issue under rules applicable to civil proceedings. Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure unambiguously provides: “These rules govern the procedure in all civil actions and proceedings in the United States district courts, except as stated in Rule 81.” The judgment and order from which Martin seeks relief were not entered in a civil case, but in a criminal proceeding. Civil Rule 60(b) simply does not provide for the relief Martin seeks. AFFIRMED. 2
