Jeffrey Dryden v. Andrea Barefield

MEMORANDUM ** Jeffrey L. Dryden appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action arising from a school expulsion. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a dismissal for failure to comply with the local rules. Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995). We affirm. The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Dryden’s action because Dryden failed to oppose defendant’s motion to dismiss. See id. (“[Fjailure to follow a district court’s local rules is a proper ground for dismissal.”); see also Dist. Nev. R. 7-2(d) (failure of an opposing party to file points and authorities in response to any motion ... constitutes a consent to the granting of the motion). We do not consider Dryden’s challenge to the magistrate judge’s order striking Dryden’s third amended complaint because Dryden failed to file timely objections with the district court. See Simpson v. Lear Astronics Corp., 77 F.3d 1170, 1174 (9th Cir. 1996) (“[A] party who fails to file timely objections to a magistrate judge’s nondispositive order with the district judge *320 to whom the case is assigned forfeits its right to appellate review of that order.”). We lack jurisdiction to consider the district court’s order denying Dryden’s motion for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P, 60(b) because Dryden failed to file a new or amended notice of appeal from that order. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(B)(ii); TAAG Linhas Aereas de Angola v. Trans-america Airlines, Inc., 915 F.2d 1351, 1354 (9th Cir. 1990) (concluding that “an appeal specifically from the ruling on the [Rule 60(b)] motion must be taken if the issues raised in that motion are to be considered by the Court of Appeals”). Defendant’s motion to strike, filed on January 20,2016, is denied. AFFIRMED.
