facts in the record.’” Brandt v. Am. Bankers Ins. Co. of Fla., 653 F.3d 1108, 1110

(9th Cir. 2011) (quoting United States v. Signed Pers. Check No. 730 of Yubran S.

Mesle, 615 F.3d 1085, 1091 (9th Cir. 2010)).

1. The Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its discretion by denying CBCN’s

motion for relief under Rule 60(b)(1), which allows a court to set aside a judgment

based on “excusable neglect.” To determine whether the judgment should be set

aside under Rule 60(b)(1), we weigh: (1) the danger of prejudice to the opposing

party, (2) the length of the delay and its potential impact on judicial proceedings,

(3) the reason for the delay and whether it was within the reasonable control of the

movant, and (4) whether the movant acted in good faith. Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v.

Brunswick Assocs. Ltd. P’ship, 507 U.S. 380, 395 (1993).

3 As for the first factor, the record supported the Bankruptcy Court’s finding

that Native Energy would be prejudiced. As for the second factor, the court found

that CBCN was aware of the proceedings and waited eight months to file suit,

which is a significant delay. Harvest v. Castro, 531 F.3d 737, 747 (9th Cir. 2008)

(finding a delay “substantial” when the movant did not “contact the district court

until 64 days after the court’s deadline”). As the Bankruptcy Court determined,

“[s]etting aside the judgment quieting title on [Native Energy’s] primary asset

would require the Court to revisit over a year’s worth of case administration and

activities.”

As for the third factor, the Bankruptcy Court found that “[t]he record

evidence at trial, and certainly the preponderance of the evidence in the record

here,” showed that CBCN’s “decision not to participate in the adversary

proceeding at all . . . was within CBCN’s reasonable control.” Lastly, the fourth

factor was “neutral in the calculus or weigh[ed] only slightly in favor” of CBCN

because CBCN did not act in bad faith. The court’s analysis of the four factors is

supported by the record and is neither illogical nor implausible. The Bankruptcy

Court did not abuse its discretion by denying CBCN’s motion for relief based on

Rule 60(b)(1).

4 2. The Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its discretion by denying CBCN’s

motion for relief under Rule 60(b)(3), which allows a court to set aside a judgment

based on fraud. CBCN’s only allegation of fraud is that Native Energy knew the

transfer from CBCN to Southern Chumash Owl Clam “was not a valid execution

of the Grant deed.” To establish fraud upon the court, “the moving party must

prove by clear and convincing evidence that the [judgment] was obtained through

fraud, misrepresentation, or other misconduct and the conduct complained of

prevented the losing party from fully and fairly presenting the defense.” De

Saracho v. Custom Food Mach., Inc., 206 F.3d 874, 880 (9th Cir. 2000). There is

no evidence that Native Energy’s actions prevented CBCN from presenting its

case, or that Native Energy intended to deceive CBCN or the court. See In re M/V

Peacock on Complaint of Edwards, 809 F.2d 1403, 1405 (9th Cir. 1987) (finding

the movant did not establish fraud on the court because she did not show that the

defendants’ misrepresentations “prevented her from discovering [the truth] . . . or

from presenting her case” or that the “misrepresentations had been made with the

intent to deceive [her] or her counsel”). CBCN’s decision not to respond to the

summary judgment motion—despite being properly served and aware of its

existence—is what precluded it from presenting its case, not any fraud by Native

5 Energy. Thus the court did not abuse its discretion by denying CBCN’s motion for

relief under Rule 60(b)(3).

3. The Bankruptcy Court did not err by denying CBCN’s motion for relief

under Rule 60(b)(4), which allows the court to set aside a judgment if it is “void.”

“Rule 60(b)(4) applies only in the rare instance where a judgment is premised

either on a certain type of jurisdictional error or on a violation of due process that

deprives a party of notice or the opportunity to be heard.” United Student Aid

Funds, Inc. v. Espinosa, 559 U.S. 260, 271 (2010). CBCN argues it was deprived

of due process because it did not have notice of the suit and because the court

limited discovery, which left it “unable to develop and prove its claim of fraud.”

But CBCN provided no evidence of fraud and thus did not establish how the

discovery limitations deprived it of due process. In addition, Native Energy

completed service of process to the proper address, and CBCN concedes that it had

actual notice of the suit. Thus, it had a full and fair opportunity to develop its case

and present evidence. The Bankruptcy Court did not err in finding CBCN was not

deprived of due process and that the judgment was not void under Rule 60(b)(4).

4. The Bankruptcy Court did not abuse its discretion by denying CBCN’s

motion for relief under Rule 60(b)(6), which allows a judgment to be set aide for

“any other reason that justifies relief.” “A party seeking to re-open a case under

6 Rule 60(b)(6) ‘must demonstrate both injury and circumstances beyond his control

that prevented him from proceeding with the prosecution or defense of the action

in a proper fashion.’” Delay v. Gordon, 475 F.3d 1039, 1044 (9th Cir. 2007)

(quoting Cmty. Dental Servs. v. Tani, 282 F.3d 1164, 1168 (9th Cir. 2002)). In

addition, the motion “must be based on grounds other than those listed in the

preceding clauses” of Rule 60(b) and is “reserved for ‘extraordinary

circumstances.’” Lafarge Conseils Et Etudes, S.A. v. Kaiser Cement & Gypsum

Corp., 791 F.2d 1334, 1338 (9th Cir. 1986) (quoting Corex Corp. v. United States,

638 F.2d 119, 121 (9th Cir. 1981)). CBCN brought the same allegations of fraud

and service under Rule 60(b)(6) that it did under the other Rule 60(b) clauses.

Regardless, no extraordinary circumstances prevented it from responding to the

entry of default or summary judgment proceedings. The Bankruptcy Court did not

abuse its discretion in denying CBCN’s Rule 60(b)(6) motion.

5. Lastly, CBCN argues the court abused its discretion by applying laches.

First, there is no indication that the bankruptcy court relied on laches when

reaching its decision. Regardless, even if it did, it was not an abuse of discretion.

“The defense of laches ‘requires proof of (1) lack of diligence by the party against

whom the defense is asserted, and (2) prejudice to the party asserting the defense.’”

State of Kan. v. State of Colo., 514 U.S. 673, 687 (1995) (quoting Costello v.

7 United States, 365 U.S. 265, 282 (1961)). CBCN was not diligent in pursuing its

case, and Native Energy would be prejudiced by the delay.

The judgment of the District Court is AFFIRMED.
