Lauren Paulson v. Matt Arbaugh

MEMORANDUM

Lauren Paulson appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in his action alleging a conspiracy to deprive him of property.

The district court granted Paulson’s motion to reopen the time to appeal the judgment, but Paulson did not show that he received notice of the judgment more than 21 days after entry of the judgment as required by Rule 4(a)(6). See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(6)(A); Arai v. Am. Bryce Ranches Inc., 316 F.3d 1066 , 1069-70 (9th Cir.2003) (ruling on a Rule 4(a)(6) motion reviewed for abuse of discretion); Nunley v. City of Los Angeles, 52 F.3d 792, 795 (9th Cir.1995) (the moving party has the burden to demonstrate non-receipt). Accordingly, Paulson’s notice of appeal was untimely and we lack jurisdiction.
