Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
(90-CV-2791)

July 14, 1998
Before SMITH, WIENER, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Lionel Galley appeals the 23 October 1997 denial of his 13
August 1997 FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b)(6) motion for relief from the
district court’s 12 January 1993 order dismissing his Jones Act
claim for want of prosecution. Galley contends that he is entitled
to such relief because the district court misled him into believing
that an order of dismissal had not been entered, and that the

47.5.4.
district court led him to believe that there was no time limit on
prosecuting his claim, once his initial complaint had been filed.
The record reveals that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying the Rule 60(b)(6) motion, see Lancaster v.
Presley, 35 F.3d 229, 231 (5th Cir. 1994), cert. denied, 514 U.S.
1026 (1995), in that Galley falls far short of demonstrating the
existence of “extraordinary circumstances” warranting such
extraordinary relief. See Government Fin. Servs. One Ltd.
Partnership v. Peyton Place, Inc., 62 F.3d 767, 773-74 (5th Cir.
1995); Hester Int’l Corp. v. Federal Republic of Nigeria, 879 F.2d
170, 174 (5th Cir. 1989).
