UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROGER E. CLARK,

Plaintiff,

v.

WESLEY McALLISTER, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-0601 CKD P

ORDER

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

a claim on August 16, 2016. (ECF No. 21.) Before the court is plaintiff’s motion for 

reconsideration of the judgment. (ECF No. 23.)

A district court1may 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, 

 

1

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

this action. (ECF No. 18.)
