Case Information

*1 Before: WALLACE, SILVERMAN, and BYBEE, Circuit Judges.

Glenn Wilson appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion to set aside a settlement agreement and to vacate the order dismissing his Title VII employment action in light of that settlement agreement. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion a denial *2 of motion for relief from a final judgment or order. Casey v. Albertson’s Inc. , 362 F.3d 1254, 1257 (9th Cir. 2004). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Wilson’s motion because Wilson failed to establish grounds for invalidating the parties’ settlement agreement. See Latshaw v. Trainer Wortham & Co. , 452 F.3d 1097, 1101 (9th Cir. 2006) (attorney mistakes are more appropriately addressed through malpractice claims, and are not a basis to vacate a judgment); Ahern v. Cent. Pac. Freight Lines , 846 F.2d 47, 48 (9th Cir. 1988) (district court’s finding that a party consented to a settlement and intended to be bound by it must be affirmed unless clearly erroneous).

We do not consider facts or documents not presented to the district court. See United States v. Elias , 921 F.2d 870, 874 (9th Cir. 1990) (“Documents or facts not presented to the district court are not part of the record on appeal.”).

We do not consider issues or arguments not specifically and distinctly raised and argued in the opening brief. See Padgett v. Wright , 587 F.3d 983, 985 n. 2 (9th Cir. 2009).

Wilson’s motion to file physical exhibits (Docket Entry No. 9) and Oregon Youth Authority’s motion to strike portion of appellant’s reply brief (Docket Entry No. 23) are denied.

AFFIRMED.
