Plaintiff's request was denied as untimely. (Dkt. No. 42.) On July 21, 2010, plaintiff filed a request to deem the motion for reconsideration timely filed in light of Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988), and the addition of three days for mailing, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(d). Good cause appearing, plaintiff's July 21, 2010 request will be granted. The July 1, 2010 order will be vacated, and the court will reconsider the May 21, 2010 order. Pursuant to E.D. Local Rule 303(f), a magistrate judge's orders shall be upheld unless "clearly erroneous or contrary to law." Upon review of the entire file, the court finds that it does not appear that the magistrate judge's ruling was clearly erroneous or contrary to law. 1
