U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of the Magistrate Judge’s December 17,

2010 order (Doc. 31) is pending before the court.

As provided by Local Rule 303(b), “rulings by Magistrate Judges . . . shall be

21

final if no reconsideration thereof is sought from the Court within fourteen (14) days calculated

22

23

of the Magistrate Judge’s order is dated January 25 and was filed on January 27, 2011, which is

24

more than 14 days from the date of service of the order. The motion is, therefore, untimely.
