UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SARAH WHITTIER BROWN,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-02051-VC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

ALTER JUDGMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 41

Brown's motion to alter the judgment is denied. Brown submitted an affidavit by Eleanor 

Cooney that suggests Brown was hospitalized for a few months during the three years that she and 

her husband were separated, but this affidavit does not affect the court's conclusion. See Doc. No. 

36-1. The rest of Brown's motion simply reiterates her previous arguments. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 

59(e); Kona Enterprises, Inc. v. Estate of Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 890 (9th Cir. 2000) (Rule 59(e) is 

an "extraordinary remedy, to be used sparingly in the interests of finality and conservation of 

judicial resources" (citation omitted)). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 21, 2015
