IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT TUNSTALL,

Plaintiff, No. 2:08-cv-3176-WBS-JFM (PC)

vs.

MIKE KNOWLES, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

/

On March 2, 2008, plaintiff filed a document styled as objections to the

magistrate judge’s February 19, 2009 order denying plaintiff’s motions for appointment of

counsel. The court construes plaintiff’s objections as a request for reconsideration of the

magistrate judge’s order. Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 72-303(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.

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

the magistrate judge filed February 19, 2009, is affirmed. Plaintiff’s motion for appointment of

counsel is denied, without prejudice, at this time. To the extent that his motions relate to his

alleged hearing impairment, they may be reconsidered at a later date if the case proceeds to trial.
