Pursuant to Court order dated June 9, 2010, Plaintiff was deemed to be a prisoner with three strikes or more and
therefore unable to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). However, on December 19, 2013, the Court
determined that Plaintiff met the imminent danger exception for purposes of 1915(g).

On November 5, 2014, Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration.2 The motion was

signed on October 29, 2014, prior to Plaintiff’s receipt of the order adopting the Findings and
3
Recommendations. It appears that Plaintiff is seeking to “reconsider” the Findings and
4
Recommendations, even though he filed objections on October 9, 2014.
5
Plaintiff seeks reconsideration because his mental illness and associated symptoms

caused him to overlook the “erroneous dismissal” of the due process and access to courts claim.
In support of his contention, Plaintiff makes the same arguments as he did in his objections. The
objections were considered and addressed by the Court in reviewing the Magistrate Judge’s
findings, and Plaintiff presents no new arguments and his motion is therefore DENIED.
