No. 2:10-cv-0760-EFB P
Plaintiff,

v.

ORDER

R. BLACKWELL, et al.,
Defendants.

15
16

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

17

U.S.C. § 1983. He filed a motion for sanctions against defense counsel, which the court denied.

18

ECF Nos. 185, 186. He then filed a motion to amend his motion for sanctions. ECF No. 188. He

19

states that the original motion was missing an exhibit (defense counsel’s letter to plaintiff

20

requesting a settlement demand) and had some wrong page numbers. Id. at 1. The court

21

construes this as a motion for reconsideration in light of the amendments. The amended motion is

22

not substantively different from the original nor does it change plaintiff’s argument. Instead, as

23

plaintiff asserts, it would “be almost the same.” Id. at 5. As the court has already ruled on the

24

original motion, and plaintiff’s proposed amendment would not change the reason for that ruling,

25

the motion (ECF No. 188), construed as a request for reconsideration, is DENIED.

So ordered.
