ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

RECONSIDER (Doc. 138)

Plaintiff’s Motion to Reconsider is before the Court. 

Plaintiff seeks to add three new Defendants more than five years

after the original Complaint was filed. The Second Amended

Complaint was filed January 6, 2004, against Defendants Terhune,

Presley, Galaza, Yee, and Bendon for allegedly enacting,

implementing, and/or enforcing policies and/or practices that

resulted in deliberate indifference to Plaintiff’s serious

medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File a Third Amended

Complaint was filed November 2, 2006. On December 28, 2006,

Plaintiff filed a Motion Seeking Leave to Add Two Additional

Defendants to the Proposed Third Amended Complaint.

The Magistrate Judge has correctly analyzed the law. The

statute of limitations has long passed and it was not until the

end of 2006 that Defendant sought to add new parties to impose

liability for claims which alleged occurred between December 14,

2000, and November 27, 2002. As correctly calculated by the

Magistrate Judge, any statute of limitations on such claims ran

November 27, 2005. Relation back does not apply.

The Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 12, 2007 /s/ Oliver W. Wanger
