Plaintiff does not explain, and it is not otherwise clear to the Court, why he filed his

motion ex parte. His request for an ex parte hearing will be denied because oral argument

will not aid the Court’s decision. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 78(b); Partridge v. Reich, 141 F.3d

920, 926 (9th Cir. 1998).

Shortly before that deadline, Plaintiff filed a document asserting that he had not received

copies of the motions even though they were shown to have been mailed to him. Doc. 65.

In the interest of justice, the Court directed the Clerk to mail copies of the motions to

Plaintiff and gave him until July 2, 2010 to file responses. Doc. 67. The Court’s records

show that the motions were mailed to Plaintiff by the Clerk on June 14, 2010. Plaintiff failed

to meet the July 2 deadline. In its order of July 16, 2010, the Court granted the motions to

dismiss summarily pursuant to Local Rule 7.2(i), and dismissed the claims against the

moving Defendants with prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute his claims and comply

with the rules and the Court’s orders. Doc. 73.

Plaintiff asserts that the order of dismissal is unconstitutional, discriminatory, and an

abuse of discretion. Doc. 75 at 1-2. He claims that copies of the motions to dismiss “did not

arrive at [his] address and [were] not received by [him] making it impossible to respond by

July 2nd, 2010.” Id. a 3. He does not explain, however, why he received the order of

dismissal and other documents mailed by the Clerk to his address of record but did not

receive the motions to dismiss. Nor does he present any evidence or argument in support of

his assertion that “[t]he defendants themselves and the clerk made it impossible for [him] to

respond to defendants’ motions by July 2nd, 2010.” Id. at 4.

Motions for reconsideration are disfavored and should not be granted “absent highly

unusual circumstances[.]” Carroll v. Nakatani, 342 F.3d 934, 945 (9th Cir. 2003). A

motion for reconsideration will be denied “absent a showing of manifest error or a showing

of new facts or legal authority that could not have been brought to [the Court’s] attention

earlier with reasonable diligence.” LRCiv 7.2(g)(1); see Carroll, 342 F.3d at 945. Plaintiff

has made no such showing.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s ex parte motion to vacate and set

aside order of dismissal (Doc. 75) is denied.

DATED this 25th day of August, 2010.
