GREGORY K. ADAMSON,

Case No. 2:11-cv-00781-MMD-CWH
Plaintiff,

10
v.

ORDER

11
AMATI, et al.,
12
Defendants.
13
14

The Court issued an Order addressing a number of consolidated motions pending

15

at the time, including motion for extension of time, motion for competency evaluation,

16

motion to change judge and motion for appointment of counsel. (Dkt. no. 64.) Plaintiff

17

promptly filed a consolidated motion objecting to the Order, requesting an extension of

18

time to file a more thorough objection and renewed requests to change judge and for

19

appointment of counsel. (Dkt. nos. 67, 68, 69, 70.) Defendant filed a response (dkt. no.

20

73) and Plaintiff filed a motion to extend time to file his reply and a motion to offer

21

additions to his earlier motion (dkt. no. 74, 75.) Plaintiff has continued his practice of

22

seeking extensions of time instead of addressing the underlying claims. (See dkt. no.

23

64.)

24

Plaintiff offers no valid reason for the Court to reconsider. Mere disagreement with

25

an order is an insufficient basis for reconsideration. Nor should reconsideration be used

26

to make new arguments or ask the Court to rethink its analysis. See N.W. Acceptance

27

Corp. v. Lynnwood Equip., Inc., 841 F.2d 918, 925-26 (9th Cir. 1988). The Court

28

therefore declines to reconsider its Order.

1

It is therefore ordered that the following motions are denied: motion to reconsider

2

(dkt. no. 67); motion to extend time (dkt. no. 68); renewed motion for recusal (dkt. no.

3

69); renewed motion for change of judge (dkt. no. 70); renewed motion for appointment

4

of counsel (dkt. no. 71); motion to extend time (dkt. no. 74); motion for additions to

5

motion (dkt. no. 75). Any future motions raising similar issues that the Court has

6

considered will be summarily denied.

DATED THIS 2nd day of March 2016.
