United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DOREEN MACLELLAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

VALLEY CARE MEDICAL CENTER, et 

al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 12-cv-05795-MMC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

RELIEF AND SPECIAL DAMAGES

On September 25, 2012, plaintiff Doreen MacLellan, appearing pro se, filed the 

instant action in state court. After the case was removed to this district, counsel was 

appointed, and a jury trial was held. On December 19, 2014, the jury rendered its verdict 

in favor of all defendants and against plaintiff; that same date, judgment, in accordance 

therewith, was entered. Thereafter, on August 12, 2019, plaintiff filed a “Motion for 

Extraordinary Relief” (“August 12 Order”), by which she sought an order setting aside the 

judgment against her and entering judgment in her favor, and, by order filed August 23, 

2019 (“August 23 Order”), the motion was denied. 

Now before the Court is plaintiff’s Motion, filed January 30, 2020, “for Relief and 

Special Damages Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Fed. R. Civil P. 7, 9, 

46, 49, 51 & Civil L.R. 7-1(4), 7-5, 7-11, 7-12 for Mistakes and Oversight by the Court 

Pursuant to Fed. R. Civil P. 7(b)(1)(B)(2), 37(e), 46, 49(b)(3)(A), 51(d)(1)(2), 60(a); Due 

to the Defendant’s Intentional Omissions, Misconduct & Misrepresentations Pursuant to 

Fed. R. Civil P. 7(b)(1)(B)(2), 7.1, 11(b)(1)(2), 37(e), 7.1, & Civil L.R. 3-9(c), 3-15, 54-

1(a)(b), 54-4(b); Request for Relief and Special Damages Pursuant to Fed. R. Civil. P.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

7(b)(1)(C)(2), 9(e)(g), 11(c)(3), 46, 49(b)(3)(4), 50(a)(1)(B), 51(d)(1)(2), 54(a)(b)(c), 

58(b)(2)(B), 60(a), Civil L.R. 7-11,” whereby plaintiff, for the second time, seeks an order 

setting aside the judgment against her and entering judgment in her favor. On February 

13, 2020, defendant Alameda County Medical Center (“ACMC”) filed opposition. No 

reply has been filed. 

The Court, having read and considered the papers filed in support of and in 

opposition to the motion, rules as follows.

Although not so characterized, the instant motion essentially seeks

reconsideration of the Court’s August 23 order. Plaintiff has failed to show, however, any 

changed circumstances or other cognizable basis for reconsideration.

Moreover, none of the additional facts on which plaintiff now relies provides

sufficient evidentiary support for the wrongdoing she asserts. Similarly, neither of the two 

statutes on which plaintiff now relies, namely 28 U.S.C. § 1927 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 

nor, as defendant points out, any of the additional Local Rules of this District or Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure to which she now cites, supports the relief she requests.

Accordingly, for the reasons stated above, the motion is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 10, 2020
