UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSH THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

J. BICK, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:16-cv-1425 TLN CKD P

ORDER

On September 1, 2016, the Magistrate Judge assigned to this case issued an order 

dismissing Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend. On September 24, 2016, Plaintiff filed1a 

document the Court construes as a request for reconsideration of that order. Local Rule 303(b), 

states “rulings by Magistrate Judges . . . shall be final if no reconsideration thereof is sought from 

the Court within fourteen (14) days . . . from the date of service of the ruling on the parties.” 

Plaintiff’s request for reconsideration of the Magistrate Judge’s order of September 1, 2016 is 

therefore untimely.

 By “filed” the Court means the date upon which plaintiff gave his request for reconsideration to 

prison officials for mailing. See Houston v. Lack, 487 U. S. 266, 270 (1988).
