 Although untimely on the face of it, the court will afford plaintiff the benefit of the 1

mailbox rule because plaintiff’s evidently signed his requests on September 27, 2007. Pursuant

to Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266, 275-76, 108 S. Ct. 2379, 2385 (1988), pro se prisoner filing is

dated from the date prisoner delivers it to prison authorities.

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAMUEL ANDERSON,

Plaintiff, 2:07-cv-1061-GEB-GGH-P

vs.

TOM FELKER, Warden, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On October 11, 2007, plaintiff filed a request for reconsideration (# 34 & # 35) of 1

the magistrate judge’s order filed September 19, 2007, denying plaintiff’s request for

appointment of counsel and vacating plaintiff’s request for preliminary injunctive relief without

prejudice. Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 72-303(f), a magistrate judge’s orders shall be upheld

unless “clearly erroneous or contrary to law.” Upon review of the entire file, the court finds that

it does not appear that the magistrate judge’s ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
