MEMORANDUM **

Melvin M. Littrell appeals pro se the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Cathy A. Catterson, Clerk of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the district court’s order denying his motion for relief from judgment. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review summary judgment de novo, see Terrell v. Brewer, 935 F.2d 1015, 1018 (9th Cir.1991), and denial of a motion for relief from judgment for abuse of discretion, see Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, *836 Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir.1993). We affirm.

Because Littrell failed to present evidence he did not receive a copy of the memorandum disposition in Littrell v. Crist, No. 93-15410, 9 F.3d 1552 , 1993 WL 460675 (9th Cir.

Aldabe, 616 F.2d 1089, 1092…
