IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAURICE D. JONES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-08-1492 EFB P

vs.

J. CANTU et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff is a prisoner without counsel seeking relief for alleged civil rights violations. 

See 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case is before the undersigned pursuant to the parties’ consent. See

28 U.S.C. § 636. 

On July 19, 2010, the court issued an order dismissing the case without prejudice due to

plaintiff’s failure to file an opposition or statement of no opposition to defendants’ motion for

summary judgment. Dckt. No. 33. Judgment was entered accordingly. Dckt. No. 34. 

Notwithstanding that judgment closing this case, plaintiff filed on July 23, 2010, a request for

reconsideration of the court’s September 11, 2008 denial of plaintiff’s request for appointment of

counsel (Dckt. No. 8). Dckt. No. 35. The motion for reconsideration is untimely and plaintiff

has not shown good cause for submitting it nearly two years after the contested ruling and after

judgement has already been entered. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(c).

So ordered.

Dated: August 11, 2010.
