HENRY A. JONES,

No. 2:10-cv-3206 MCE EFB P

SAHOTA, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER
/

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action

17

seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 8, 2012, the undersigned denied plaintiff’s

18

requests for injunctive relief. (ECF No. 62.) Through three separate filings, plaintiff seeks

19

reconsideration of that order. (ECF Nos. 65, 66, 69.) Reconsideration is appropriate if the court

20

(1) is presented with newly discovered evidence, (2) committed clear error or the initial decision

21

was manifestly unjust, or (3) if there is an intervening change in controlling law. Sch. Dist. No.

22

1J v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1263 (9th Cir. 1993). Local Rule 230(j) requires that a motion

23

for reconsideration state “what new or different facts or circumstances are claimed to exist which

24

did not exist or were not shown upon such prior motion, or what other grounds exist for the

25

motion,” and “why the facts or circumstances were not shown at the time of the prior motion.”

26

E.D. Cal., Local Rule 230(j)(3)-(4).

Plaintiff fails to describe new or different facts or circumstances that would
warrant reconsideration of the Court’s order.
Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration
(ECF Nos. 65, 66, 69) is DENIED.
Dated: August 21, 2012
