UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AARON STRIBLING,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. MOTT, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0400 CKD P

ORDER

This action was dismissed without prejudice on June 14, 2016. (ECF No. 13.) Before the 

court is plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of the judgment. (ECF No. 15.)

A district court1 may reconsider a ruling under either Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

59(e) or 60(b). See Sch. Dist. Number. 1J, Multnomah County v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 

1262 (9th Cir. 1993). “Reconsideration is appropriate if the district court (1) is presented with 

newly discovered evidence, (2) committed clear error or the initial decision was manifestly 

unjust, or (3) if there is an intervening change in controlling law.” Id. at 1263. Here, the court’s 

decision to dismiss this action without prejudice was not clearly erroneous nor manifestly unjust, 

and none of the other factors apply.

Plaintiff has consented to the jurisdiction of a Magistrate Judge to conduct all proceedings in 

this action. (ECF No. 5.)
