08-55013
U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion the district court’s decision
regarding the management of its case. Muckleshoot Tribe v. Lummi Indian Tribe,
141 F.3d 1355, 1358 (9th Cir. 1998). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by rejecting Jaffe’s Rule 60(b)
motion. The rejection was consistent with this court’s mandate upon summarily
affirming the district court’s order dismissing Jaffe’s suit for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. See Palomo v. Baba, 497 F.2d
959, 960 (9th Cir. 1974) (per curiam) (recognizing that any orders by a district
court following issuance of the mandate must be consistent “as to all matters
encompassed by the mandate”).
We decline to address Jaffe’s contentions regarding the underlying dismissal
of his case.
AFFIRMED.
