Case No. 15-cv-05241-SI
ORDER DENYING SECOND REQUEST
TO ALTER OR AMEND JUDGMENT

v.

Re: Dkt. No. 46

M. JONES,
Defendant.

12
13

On May 30, 2017, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment and

14

entered judgment against plaintiff. Plaintiff then filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment,

15

and the court denied the motion. Next, plaintiff filed a motion to amend his opposition to the

16

already-granted motion for summary judgment; the court denied that motion from plaintiff also.

17

Plaintiff now returns with a “motion to amend defendants summary of judgment/request

18

for counsel,” which the court construes to be another motion to alter or amend the judgment.

19

Docket No. 46. Plaintiff’s motion is DENIED because he fails to show that the court committed

20

manifest error of law or fact, does not present new evidence; does not show that the summary

21

judgment decision was manifestly unjust; and does not show an intervening change in controlling

22

law. Insofar as plaintiff is requesting the appointment of counsel in this closed case, that request

23

also is denied. Plaintiff should not file any more motions attacking the judgment on the same

24

grounds he already has presented unsuccessfully.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
