UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

IVAN KILGORE,

Plaintiff,

v.

DIRECTOR, et al.,

Defendant.

No. 2:11-cv-1745 TLN KJN (TEMP) P

ORDER

On March 7, 2016, Plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of the magistrate judge’s 

Order filed February 26, 2016 (ECF No. 50), denying Plaintiff’s motions for counsel. (ECF No. 

51.) Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 303(f), a magistrate judge’s orders shall be upheld unless 

“clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” Upon review of the entire file, the Court finds that it does 

not appear that the magistrate judge’s ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law. 

Furthermore, the additional “circumstances” listed by Plaintiff in his request for reconsideration 

still do not meet his burden of demonstrating exceptional circumstances warranting the 

appointment of counsel as required by Palmer v. Valdez, 560 F.3d 965, 970 (9th Cir. 2009). 

 Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, upon reconsideration, the Order of the 

magistrate judge filed February 26, 2016, is affirmed. This case is referred back to the assigned 

magistrate judge for all further pretrial proceedings.
