                              OPINION OF THE COURT
                                    _________

PER CURIAM

      Lorna Claycomb, proceeding pro se, appeals from the District Court’s denial of

her latest attempt to reopen a case that was decided more than three years ago. For the

reasons that follow, we will summarily affirm.
                                             I.

       In 2006, Claycomb filed an employment discrimination suit in the District Court

against Playtex, her former employer. In June 2007, the District Court entered summary

judgment in favor of Playtex and closed the case. Claycomb subsequently filed a motion

to reopen, which the court construed as a motion for reconsideration and ultimately

denied. Claycomb did not file her notice of appeal until more than 30 days later, but we

remanded the matter so that the District Court could consider a filing that was construed

as her request for an extension of time to appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). In

June 2008, the court denied that request. Claycomb did not appeal from that decision

until January 2009; we dismissed that appeal as untimely.

       In August 2009, Claycomb again moved to reopen her case. The District Court,

construing her request as a motion for reconsideration of its June 2007 order, denied the

motion. We affirmed that decision on appeal in January 2010. See Claycomb v. Playtex,

363 F. App’x 152, 152-53 (3d Cir. 2010) (per curiam). In May 2010, Claycomb filed yet

another motion to reopen. On June 25, 2010, the District Court denied that motion. Less

than two weeks later, Claycomb filed a “Motion to Request to see a Judge.” In that one-

page motion, she indicated that she had brought her documentary evidence to the District

Court Clerk’s office, and wanted to schedule her case for consideration. The District

Court, construing the request as yet another motion to reopen her case, denied the motion

on July 14, 2010. This appeal followed.


                                             2
                                              II.

       Claycomb’s notice of appeal does not make clear which District Court order(s) she

seeks to challenge. To the extent she seeks to challenge the District Court’s June 25,

2010 order, her appeal is untimely and, as a result, we lack jurisdiction to consider it.1

See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A); Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007) (“[T]he

timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement.”). To the

extent, however, she seeks to challenge the District Court’s July 14, 2010 order, her

appeal is timely. Accordingly, our consideration of this appeal is limited to the latter

order,2 which we review for abuse of discretion. See Brown v. Philadelphia Hous. Auth.,

350 F.3d 338, 342 (3d Cir. 2003).

       Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) allows a court to grant relief from a final

judgment if “applying [the judgment] prospectively is no longer equitable,” or if there is

“any other reason that justifies relief.”3 Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5), (6). A litigant seeking

such relief must show “extraordinary circumstances.” See Gonzalez v. Crosby, 545 U.S.

524, 535 (2005); Inmates of Allegheny County Jail v. Wecht, 754 F.2d 120, 127 (3d Cir.




       1
         Claycomb’s “Motion to Request to see a Judge” did not toll the time to appeal
the District Court’s June 25, 2010 order. See Turner v. Evers, 726 F.2d 112, 114 (3d Cir.
1984). Additionally, Claycomb has not sought an extension of time under Fed. R. App.
P. 4(a)(6), nor is there any indication that such an extension would be warranted.
       2
           We have jurisdiction to review this order pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.
       3
           None of the other subsections of Rule 60(b) applies in this case because
                                               3
1985). In this case, Claycomb’s “Motion to Request to see a Judge” — her fourth

attempt to reopen her case — failed to put forth any explanation as to why the District

Court’s grant of summary judgment should be disturbed, let alone show “extraordinary

circumstances.” Accordingly, the District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying

her motion.

      Because this appeal does not present a substantial question, we will summarily

affirm the District Court’s order. See 3d Cir. LAR 27.4; 3d Cir. I.O.P. 10.6.




(1) Claycomb filed the instant motion to reopen more than a year after the District
Court’s grant of summary judgment, and (2) that judgment is not void. See Fed. R. Civ.
P. 60(b).
