This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration. (ECF No. 7.)
Plaintiff is a pro se litigant who has filed this action against “District Attorney.” (Compl., ECF

19
No. 1.) Plaintiff requests the return of property including a computer and legal documents
20
allegedly taken from his house on April 1, 2014. Plaintiff alleges that without these documents
21

he cannot be “represented effectively.” (ECF No. 3 at 2.) Plaintiff requests that “the search

22
warrant should be set aside, all the evidence should be suppressed and seized property should be
23

returned.” (ECF No. 3 at 2.) This Court denied Plaintiff’s motion for a temporary restraining

24
order on April 4, 2014. (ECF No. 6.)
25

Under Local Rule 230(j), any application for reconsideration must set forth “what new or

26
different facts or circumstances are claimed to exist which did not exist or were not shown upon
27
such prior motion, or what other grounds exist for the motion; and [] why the facts or
28
1

1

circumstances were not shown at the time of the prior motion.” Here, Plaintiff does not set forth

2

any new facts or circumstances, or any other grounds for granting his motion. Nor has Plaintiff

3

corrected any of the deficiencies detailed in this Court’s order denying his motion for a temporary

4

restraining order. (See ECF No. 6.) Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration appears to be based

5

only on his dissatisfaction with this Court’s ruling, which is an inappropriate basis for relief. See

6

L.R. 230(j). Therefore, Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED.

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
