                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                              for the District of Nevada
                       Philip M. Pro, District Judge, Presiding

Before:        REINHARDT, LEAVY, and BERZON, Circuit Judges.

         Federal prisoner Dragomir Taskov appeals pro se the district court’s

judgment denying his motion for a new trial under Federal Rule of Criminal

Procedure 33. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

         Taskov contends that he is entitled to a new trial because he received new

evidence on the fourth day of his jury trial. The district court did not abuse its

discretion by denying Taskov’s motion. See United States v. Hinkson, 585 F.3d

1247, 1259 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc). Taskov failed to show that the evidence is

newly discovered. See United States v. Harrington, 410 F.3d 598, 601 (9th Cir.

2005).

      Taskov also claims that the district court improperly denied his motion to

substitute counsel, improperly denied his post-trial motion for discovery, and

violated his right to a speedy trial. We decline to consider these arguments, which

Taskov raised for the first time on appeal. See United States v. Napier, 463 F.3d

1040, 1045-46 (9th Cir. 2006).

      AFFIRMED.
