ORDER * 1

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO DIVISION

WALTER S. LANGSTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

WARDEN FINN, et. al., 

Defendants.

NO. CV-08-2475-EFS (PC)

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION

Before the Court are pro se state prisoner Plaintiff Walter S.

Langston’s Motions for Reconsideration. (Ct. Recs. 18 & 19.) On January

15, 2009, the Court ordered Plaintiff to submit a prison trust account

statement within sixty days or face dismissal. (Ct. Rec. 12.) Because

Plaintiff failed to do so, the Court dismissed his complaint without

prejudice. (Ct. Rec. 15.) Later, Plaintiff submitted the prison trust

account statement, together with a note of apology from the responsible

prison official for having delayed in processing Plaintiff’s paperwork.

(Ct. Rec. 17.) Because Plaintiff now submitted the required materials,

the Court finds good cause to reopen his case.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED: 

1. Plaintiff’s Motions for Reconsideration (Ct. Recs. 18 & 19) are

GRANTED.
