UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

DONALD M. WANLAND, JR.,

Defendant.

No. 2:13-cv-2343-KJM-KJN PS

ORDER

On September 21, 2015, defendant filed objections to the court’s September 4, 2015 order 

denying defendant’s motion to modify the pretrial scheduling order. (ECF No. 42.) Although the 

order did not specifically provide for the filing of objections, the court liberally construes 

defendant’s objections as a motion for reconsideration.

Upon requesting reconsideration of a prior order, a party must show, inter alia, “what new 

or different facts or circumstances are claimed to exist which did not exist or were not shown 

upon such prior motion, or what other grounds exist for the motion.” E.D. Cal. L.R. 230(j). 

Here, defendant’s motion does not set forth any new facts or newly-discovered evidence, or an 

intervening change of law. The court has reviewed the arguments in support of defendant’s 

contention that the court committed clear error in denying modification of the scheduling order, 

but finds that those arguments lack merit and/or do not affect the court’s analysis and resolution 

of defendant’s motion. Therefore, there is no basis for the court to reconsider its prior order.
