discretion, School Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir.1993), and we affirm.

The district court properly concluded that Olson's motion, filed six years after the court dismissed her action, was timely only if construed as a motion under Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(6), and that she failed to demonstrate "extraordinary circumstances." See Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b); United States v. Alpine Land & Reservoir Co., 984 F.2d 1047, 1049 (9th Cir.1993).

Olson's remaining contentions are unpersuasive.

AFFIRMED.
