Case No. 5:14-cv-00847-EJD

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO FILE MOTION FOR 

RECONSIDERATION 

(Re: Docket No. 62)

Plaintiff Ronald W. Campbell seeks reconsideration of this court’s order denying 

production of four internal investigation files concerning Defendant Matt Delorenzo, wherein the 

court found that Campbell was unable to show that the internal investigation files were reasonably 

likely to lead to admissible evidence.

 Campbell primarily takes issue with the court’s reliance on 

Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) to assess the discoverability of the records at issue. Campbell misapprehends 

the court’s point. While the court referred to the interaction between Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) and Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 26(b)(1) in determining the admissibility of evidence, the court relied on Fed. R. Civ. P. 

26(b)(1) to determine the discoverability of the documents in question. As explained below, 

because Campbell still fails to show that the four internal investigation files are reasonably likely to 

lead to admissible evidence, the court stands by its previous ruling and DENIES the motion for 

leave to file motion for reconsideration.
