United States v. Roshon Thomas

MEMORANDUM
Federal prisoner Roshon E. Thomas appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(4) motion for relief from final judgment. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.
Thomas contends the district court erred by denying his Rule 60(b) motion, which alleged that the district court failed to address six of the claims raised in his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion. The district court properly concluded that Thomas’ motion was, in effect, an unauthorized second or successive motion under § 2255. See 28 U.S.C. § 2244 (a); Gonzalez v. Crosby, 545 U.S. 524 , 532 & n. 4, 125 S.Ct. 2641 , 162 L.Ed.2d 480 (2005).
To the extent that Thomas’ contentions may be construed as a request for authorization to file a second or successive § 2255 motion, see Cooper v. Calderon, 274 F.3d 1270, 1275 (9th Cir.2001) (per curiam), such a request is denied because Thomas has not made the requisite showing under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (h).
Thomas’ request to expand the certificate of appealability is denied. See 9th Cir. R. 22 — 1(e); see also Hiivala v. Wood, 195 F.3d 1098, 1104-05 (9th Cir.1999) (per curiam).
