IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY L. BROWN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-02-02645 ALA P

vs.

D. L. RUNNELS, et. al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff Gregory L. Brown is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se. Plaintiff

seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for alleged violations of his rights guaranteed by the

First and Eighth Amendments of the United States Constitution and his rights under the

Americans with Disabilities Act.

On January 14, 2008, this court denied plaintiff’s November 29, 2007, motion for a

temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. On January 28, 2008, plaintiff filed a

motion 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 motion presents no argument that there is newly discovered evidence, that the

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

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

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s January 28, 2008, motion for

reconsideration is DENIED.
