UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HERMAN TIEMENS, JR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRIAN DUFFY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-1461 CKD P

ORDER

On December 10, 2014, plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration of this court’s October 

9, 2014 order dismissing plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend.1 A court 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 would 

be appropriate in this instance if the court committed clear error, the initial decision is manifestly 

unjust, or if there has been an intervening change in controlling law. Id. at 1263. The court did 

not commit clear error, the decision to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend is not 

manifestly unjust and there has not been a change in the law.
