MEMORANDUM

Nevada state prisoner Elisandro Mendoza appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion for relief from judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) following the dismissal of Mendoza’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of discretion. Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir.1993). We affirm.

The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Mendoza’s motion for relief from judgment because Mendoza failed to establish grounds for relief under Rule 60(b). See id. at 1263 (discussing grounds for relief from judgment under Rule 60(b)); see also McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199 (9th Cir.2002) (per curiam) (holding that the district court must dismiss the complaint, rather than staying proceedings, where a prisoner has not exhausted administrative remedies pri- or to filing suit).

AFFIRMED.
