UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TONY ALLEN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ANDERSON, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-cv-1458 JAM CKD P 

ORDER 

 On December 15, 2014, plaintiff filed a document the court construes as a motion for 

reconsideration of this court’s June 30, 2014 dismissal of this action for plaintiff’s failure to 

oppose defendants’ motion to dismiss. A district court may 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. 

 Plaintiff does not present newly discovered evidence suggesting this matter should not 

have been dismissed. Furthermore, the court finds that, after a de novo review of this case, the 

June 30, 2014 order dismissing this case is neither manifestly unjust nor clearly erroneous.
