    ANDREW W. SHALABY,                              MEMORANDUM*
    Appellant.
    Appeal from the Ninth Circuit
    Bankruptcy Appellate Panel
    Brand, Kurtz, and Faris, Bankruptcy Judges, Presiding
    Submitted March 3, 2020**
    Before:      MURGUIA, CHRISTEN, and BADE, Circuit Judges.
    Attorney Andrew W. Shalaby appeals pro se from the Bankruptcy Appellate
    Panel’s judgment affirming the bankruptcy court’s order denying Shalaby’s April
    14, 2018 Rule 60(b) motion to amend a sanctions order. We have jurisdiction
    under 
    28 U.S.C. § 158
    (d). We review for an abuse of discretion the bankruptcy
    *
    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). Shalaby’s request for oral
    argument, set forth in the opening brief, is denied.
    court’s ruling on a motion under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b). Phillips v.
    Gilman (In re Gilman), 
    887 F.3d 956
    , 963 (9th Cir. 2018). We affirm.
    The bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion in denying Shalaby’s Rule
    60(b) motion because Shalaby failed to demonstrate any basis for relief. See Fed.
    R. Bankr. P. 9024 (making Rule 60 applicable to bankruptcy cases); Latshaw v.
    Trainer Wortham & Co., 
    452 F.3d 1097
    , 1102-03 (9th Cir. 2006) (discussing
    required showing for Rule 60(b)(6) relief and explaining that relief may be granted
    “only where extraordinary circumstances” are present (citations and quotation
    marks omitted)); SEC v. Coldicutt, 
    258 F.3d 939
    , 941 (9th Cir. 2001) (discussing
    conditions under which a court may modify an order under Rule 60(b)(5)).
    We do not consider matters not specifically and distinctly raised and argued
    in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright, 
    587 F.3d 983
    , 985 n.2 (9th Cir. 2009).
    Shalaby’s motion for summary disposition (Docket Entry No. 11) is denied
    as moot.
    AFFIRMED.
