MEMORANDUM*

2

Former Alaskan state prisoner Harry Neil Kelly, Jr., appeals the district court's order denying his Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b) motion to set aside the court's dismissal of numerous defendants in Kelly' § 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The district court denied Kelly's Rule 60(b) motion while his appeal from the court's underlying judgment was pending in this court.1 We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, see Thomas, Head & Greisen Employees Trust v. Buster, 95 F.3d 1449, 1460 n. 19 (9th Cir.1996), cert. denied, 117 S.Ct. 1247 (1997), and we review de novo, see Carriger v. Lewis, 971 F.2d 329, 332 (9th Cir.1992) (en banc).

3

Because this court denied Kelly's motion for a limited remand to the district court, the district court lacked jurisdiction to address Kelly's Rule 60(b) motion in the underlying appeal. See Gould v. Mutual Life Ins. Co., 790 F.2d 769, 772 (9th Cir.1986); see also Carriger, 971 F.2d at 332. Accordingly, we remand with instructions to deny Kelly's Rule 60(b) motion for lack of jurisdiction.

4

Each party to bear its own costs and fees on appeal.

REMANDED.

**

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4
