The court is in receipt of plaintiff Rogelio Ruiz’s motion at ECF No. 13, which it

19

construes as a motion for to alter or amend the judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

20

59(e). “Under Rule 59(e), a motion for reconsideration should not be granted, absent highly

21

unusual circumstances, unless the district court is presented with newly discovered evidence,

22

committed clear error, or if there is an intervening change in the controlling law.” 389 Orange St.

23

Partners v. Arnold, 179 F.3d 656, 665 (9th Cir. 1999). Because Mr. Ruiz’s motion does not meet

24

that standard, it is denied.

26

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: October 13, 2020.
