UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRICE ANTHONY PEELER,

Plaintiff,

v.

KEVIN REALI, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0582 CKD P

ORDER

This prisoner civil rights action was dismissed without prejudice for failure to state a 

claim on September 21, 2016. (ECF No. 11.) Before the court is plaintiff’s motion for 

reconsideration of the judgment. (ECF No. 14.)

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

action. (ECF No. 4.)

Plaintiff has also moved for an extension of time to file a notice of appeal. (ECF No. 15.) 

Under Rule 4(a)(4) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, if a party timely files a motion 

for reconsideration of the judgment, “the time to file an appeal runs for all parties from the entry 

of the order disposing of the last such remaining motion.” Because plaintiff has 30 days after the 

entry of this order to file a notice of appeal, his motion for extension of time will be denied as 

moot. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of the judgment (ECF No. 14) is denied; and

2. Plaintiff’s motion for extension of time (ECF No. 15) is denied as moot. 

Dated: October 20, 2016
