IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

 HARVEY EUGENE LARSON,

Plaintiff, No. 2:06-cv-1413 ALA P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

____________________________/

Plaintiff Harvey Larson is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff seeks

relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 25, 2008, this court granted defendant’s motion

for summary judgment and closed this matter. On February 11, 2008, plaintiff filed a request for

reconsideration. 

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 

Plaintiff’s request presents no argument that there is newly discovered evidence, that the

court committed clear error, that the decision was manifestly unjust or that there has been an

intervening change in controlling law. As such, plaintiff’s request will be denied.
