UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WALTER HOWARD WHITE,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. SMYERS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:12-cv-2868-MCE-AC-P

ORDER

On February 4, 2016 and March 8, 2016, respectively, this Court denied (at ECF 

Nos. 179 and 180) Plaintiff’s reconsideration requests (ECF Nos. 173 and 157) as to 

orders made by the assigned Magistrate Judge in this matter and filed on April 16, 2015 

and July 14, 2015, respectively. See ECF Nos. 144 and 126. Plaintiff’s reconsideration 

requests were denied on grounds that, after reviewing the entire file, this Court could not 

say that the Magistrate Judge’s challenged decisions were clearly erroneous. Then, on 

April 1, 2016 and April 18, 2016, Plaintiff filed two additional requests that the court 

reconsider its prior denials of reconsideration. Plaintiff has cited no authority authorizing 

successive reconsideration requests, and there is none. Plaintiff's additional motions for

reconsideration (ECF Nos. 182 and 184) are consequently DENIED.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 27, 2016

 1 The Court notes that to the extent Plaintiff’s April 1, 2016 reconsideration request asks the Court 

to review and consider additional exhibits pertaining to a continued stay of this matter, those exhibits have 

now been submitted by a supplemental filing (ECF No. 181) and were considered by the Magistrate Judge 

in connection with Plaintiff’s Eighth Motion to Stay. See August 23, 2016 Order and Findings and 

Recommendations, ECF No. 190, 3:18-4:11. Consequently, to the extent Plaintiff’s reconsideration 

request asked the Court to consider those exhibits, that request has now been rendered moot.
