UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

THOMAS CLINTON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:05-cv-1600-JAM-CMK 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff, a former prisoner proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pending before the court is plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration 

(Doc. 578) of the Magistrate Judge’s December 15, 2015, order denying plaintiff’s motion to 

appoint counsel and motion for adverse inference regarding destruction of evidence. 

 Pursuant to Eastern District of California Local Rule 303(f), a Magistrate Judge’s 

order 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. The December 15, 2015, order is therefore affirmed. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The motion for reconsideration (Doc. 578) is denied; 

2. The Magistrate Judge’s December 15, 2015, order is affirmed; and
