Defendants. ORDER

 /

On March 13 and March 22, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued orders denying plaintiff’s

request for appointment of counsel and granting defendants’ motion to compel . On March 30,

2006, plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of those orders. In addition, on April 4, 2006,

the Magistrate Judge issued an order granting summary judgment in favor of defendants

Armstrong, Bloomfield, McInerney, Meeh, and LaBouff. On April 21, 2006, plaintiff filed a

request for reconsideration of that order as well.

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 rulings were clearly erroneous or contrary

to law. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s March 13, 2006, March 22,

2006, and April 4, 2006 requests for reconsideration are denied.
