IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KEVIN LAMAR FRAZIER, No. 2:05-cv-0774-MCE-JFM-P

Plaintiff, 

v. ORDER

SPENCER ROWELL, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

On May 18, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued an order denying plaintiff’s motion for

default judgment against defendant Spencer Rowell. On June 19, 2006, plaintiff filed a

document styled “Motion to Object.” The court construes this document as a request for

reconsideration of the May 18, 2006 order. On June 23, 2006, defendant Rowell filed an

opposition to plaintiff’s motion, and on July 20, 2006, plaintiff filed a reply.

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 the

magistrate judge’s ruling was correct.1

service of the ruling on the parties.” E.D. Local Rule 72-303(b). Plaintiff’s request for

reconsideration of the magistrate judge’s order of May 18, 2006 is untimely and could be denied

for that reason. The court has, however, reviewed plaintiff’s request on the merits.

2

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Plaintiff’s June 19, 2006 motion to object is construed as a request for reconsideration

of the magistrate judge’s May 18, 2006 order; and

1. Upon reconsideration, said order is affirmed. 

DATED: November 8, 2006
