HAYES, Judge:

CRIM CASE NO. 10cr3044WQH
CIVIL CASE NO. 16cv653WQH
CIVIL CASE NO. 16cv2049
ORDER
Defendant.
14
The matter before the Court is the motion to reopen and reenter judgment
15
pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b)(1) and 60(b)(6) (ECF No. 2360)
16
filed by Defendant/Petitioner.
17
On January 11, 2017, this Court entered an order denying the motion pursuant
18
to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 on the grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel filed by the
19
Defendant/Petitioner. (ECF No. 2333). Defendant moves the Court to reopen his case
20
and to reenter judgment on the grounds that his counsel did not send his a copy of the
21
order denying relief and it recently came to his attention that the motion had been
22
denied.
23
“Rule 60(b)(6) is a catch-all provision that allows a court to vacate a judgment
24
for ‘any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment.’ That rule
25
has been used sparingly as an equitable remedy to prevent manifest injustice.” Lehman
26
v. U.S., 154 F.3d 1010, 1017 (9th Cir. 1998). Relief under Rule 60(b)(6) “is to be
27
utilized only where extraordinary circumstances prevented a party from taking timely
28
action to prevent or correct an erroneous judgment.” Harvest v. Castro, 531 F.3d 737,
-1-
1
749 (9th Cir. 2008) (internal quotation marks omitted). The Court concludes that
2
Defendant/Petitioner has moved in a timely manner and set forth good cause to reopen
3
and reenter judgment.
4
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to reopen and reenter judgment
5
pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 60(b)(1) and 60(b)(6) (ECF No. 2360)
6
filed by Defendant/Petitioner is granted.
7
IT IS FURTHER HEREBY ORDERED that motion pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
8
2255 (ECF No. 2301) is denied on the grounds stated in the January 11, 2017 order
9
(ECF No. 2333). As stated in the January 11, 2017 order, a certificate of appealability
10
is denied. The Clerk of the Court shall send a copy of this order and a copy of ECF
11
No. 2333 to the Defendant at the address stated in ECF No. 2360.
