UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RICHARD J. CRANE, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MIKE EVANS, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:11-cv-0663 KJM CKD P 

ORDER 

 

 Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. Plaintiff has requested that this court reconsider its September 30, 2014 order granting 

defendants’ motion for summary judgment. He has filed two separate documents in support of 

his request, each of which the court has considered. 

 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. Here, the September 30, 

2014 decision was not clearly erroneous nor manifestly unjust, and none of the other factors 

applies.
