UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LEON E. MORRIS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

C. M. GREEN, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:13-cv-0589 JAM CKD P 

ORDER 

 

 On August 31, 2016, the district court granted summary judgment for defendant in this 

pro se prisoner civil rights action. (ECF No. 86.) Before the court is plaintiff’s motion for 

reconsideration of the judgment, constructively filed September 9, 2016. (ECF No. 88.) 

 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. Here, the district court’s 

adoption of the July 28, 2016 findings and recommendations was not clearly erroneous nor 

manifestly unjust, and none of the other factors apply.
