UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSUE ORTIZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-0617 WBS KJN P

ORDER

On August 26, 2014, the Magistrate Judge issued an order dismissing plaintiff’s complaint 

with leave to amend. On September 29, 2014, plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration of that 

order. Plaintiff signed the request on September 24, 2014. See Huizar v. Carey, 273 F.3d 1220, 

1222 (9th Cir. 2001) (Under the mailbox rule, a prisoner’s pro se habeas petition is “deemed filed 

when he hands it over to prison authorities for mailing to the relevant court.”); Houston v. Lack, 

487 U.S. 266, 276 (1988). 

Local Rule 303(b), states “rulings by Magistrate Judges . . . shall be final if no 

reconsideration thereof is sought from the Court within fourteen days . . . from the date of service 

of the ruling on the parties.” Id. Thus, plaintiff’s request was due on or before September 9, 

2014. Therefore, plaintiff’s September 24, 2014 request for reconsideration of the magistrate 

judge’s order of August 26, 2014, is untimely. Good cause appearing, plaintiff is granted an 

additional thirty days in which to file a second amended complaint.
