UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

OAKLAND DIVISION 

THOMAS DEAL, 

 Plaintiff, 

vs. 

COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, et al., 

 Defendant. 

Case No: C 09-1643 SBA 

 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

PRO SE MOTION FOR 

RECONSIDERATION

Docket 32 

Plaintiff, who presently is represented by counsel, has filed a pro se motion for 

reconsideration (Docket 32) of this Court’s Order issued on February 5, 2010 (Docket 29), 

which directed the parties to meet and confer regarding the tender of payment on Plaintiff’s 

mortgage. It is well settled that the Court need not consider motions filed pro se where the 

party is represented by counsel. E.g., United States. v. El-Alamin, 574 F.3d 915, 923 (8th Cir. 

2009); Ennis v. LeFevre, 560 F.2d 1072 (2d Cir. 1977).1

 In addition, it is improper to file a 

motion for reconsideration without first obtaining leave of Court to do so. Civ. L.R. 7-9. 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Plaintiff’s pro se motion for reconsideration is 

DENIED without prejudice. This Order terminates Docket 32. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: July 7, 2010 ______________________________ 

SAUNDRA BROWN ARMSTRONG 

United States District Judge 

 1 After Plaintiff filed his motion, his counsel filed a motion to withdraw. However, that 

motion has not yet been ruled upon. Unless and until leave to withdraw is granted, Plaintiff 

remains a represented party in this action.
