IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEPHEN KELLEY,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-03-1548 RRB EFB P

vs.

B. WILLIAMS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for alleged civil rights

violations. See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 25, 2007, plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration

of the magistrate judge’s order filed April 9, 2007, denying plaintiff’s request that the court

appoint counsel. The Local Rules of this Court state that a magistrate judge’s orders will be

upheld unless “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” L. R. 72-303(f). The court has reviewed

the record and finds that magistrate judge’s ruling was not clearly erroneous or contrary to law.

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

magistrate judge filed April 9, 2007, is affirmed. 

DATED: 2/1/2008
