UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANTHONY NGUYEN,

Plaintiff,

v.

BITER, M.D., et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:11-cv-00809-OWW-SKO PC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR RECONSIDERATION

(Doc. 10)

Plaintiff Anthony Nguyen, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on May 18, 2011. On June 9, 2011, Plaintiff filed an objection to the

Court’s order denying his motion for the appointment of counsel.

Although Plaintiff does not specifically seek reconsideration, to the extent his objections are

so construed, his motion is denied. Plaintiff’s disagreement with the ruling is not grounds for

reconsideration. Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(6); Local Rule 230(j); Marlyn Nutraceuticals, Inc. v. Mucos

Pharma GmbH & Co., 571 F.3d 873, 880 (9th Cir. 2009); Harvest v. Castro, 531 F.3d 737, 749 (9th

Cir. 2008). There is no entitlement to counsel in this case, Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th

Cir. 2009); Storseth v. Spellman, 654 F.2d 1349, 1353 (9th Cir. 1981), and at this stage in the

proceedings, the Court does not find that exceptional circumstances are present, Palmer, 560 F.3d

at 970; Wilborn v. Escalderon, 789 F.2d 1328, 1331 (9th Cir. 1981).
