REX CHAPPELL,

No. 2:12-cv-0234-MCE-AC P

v.

ORDER

OFFICER FLEMING, et al.,

15

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action. On September 22,

18

2014, the assigned magistrate judge issued an Order, ECF No. 79, denying Plaintiff’s Motion for

19

Appointment of Counsel. On October 15, 2014, Plaintiff filed the instant Motion for

20

Reconsideration. ECF No. 80.

21

Local Rule 303(b) states that “[r]ulings by Magistrate Judges . . . shall be final if no

22

reconsideration thereof is sought from the Court within fourteen days . . . from the date of service

23

of the ruling on the parties.” Id. Because Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration was not filed

24

within fourteen days of the magistrate judge’s September 22, 2014, Order, the Motion for

25

Reconsideration is untimely and the magistrate judge’s Order is final.
