Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
18
against Defendant Nurse Practitioner C. Malo-Clines at Pelican Bay State Prison (“PBSP”). On
19
August 28, 2012, the Court granted Defendant’s motion for summary judgment and denied
20
Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. (Dkt. No. 65.) On September 10, 2012, Plaintiff filed
21
a notice of appeal with the Ninth Circuit. (Dkt. No. 68.) On September 14, 2012, the Ninth
22
Circuit acknowledged Plaintiff’s notice of appeal and set a briefing schedule. (Dkt. No. 69.) On
23
October 4, 2012, Plaintiff filed in this Court a motion to vacate pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
24
Procedure 60. (Dkt. No. 70.) Defendant has filed an opposition, and Plaintiff has filed a reply.
25
It is well established that once Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of this Court’s judgment
26
granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment, this Court lost jurisdiction over the action.

entertain the motion, or grant it, and then move [the Ninth Circuit], if appropriate, for remand of
3
the case.” Id. (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Plaintiff has not followed this
4
procedure. Nor is this Court inclined to entertain or grant the Rule 60(b) motion. Plaintiff’s

motion is DENIED.
