Defendants.

17

Plaintiff is a civil detainee proceeding without counsel in an action brought under

18

42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 6, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued an order denying plaintiff’s

19

request for the appointment of counsel and on October 8, 2019, 2019, the Magistrate Judge issued

20

an order screening plaintiff’s amended complaint as provided by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). ECF

21

Nos. 23 & 24. Plaintiff has filed a document titled, “Motion for Appointment of Counsel –

22

Motion for Reconsideration – Appeal to District Judge,” which the Court construes as a motion

23

for reconsideration of the Magistrate Judge’s orders. ECF No. 25.
Local Rule 303(f) provides that Magistrate Judge’s orders shall be upheld unless “clearly

24
25

erroneous or contrary to law.” Upon review of the entire file, the court finds the Magistrate

26

Judge’s rulings are not clearly erroneous or contrary to law.
