Local Rule 303 provides for reconsideration of a magistrate judge’s ruling by a district 

judge. E.D. Cal. L.R. 303(c). Under Rule 303(f), the district judge may reverse a ruling of a 

magistrate judge only if the ruling is “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” The court finds that 

the magistrate judge’s denial of plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel was not clearly 

erroneous or contrary to law. The motion for reconsideration (ECF No. 207) is accordingly 

DENIED.
