Case No.: 2:15-cv-451-JAD-NJK
Order Denying Second Motion for
Reconsideration [Doc. 14]

The People of the State of California,

8

Defendant.

After being declared a vexatious litigant in his home state of California, pro se plaintiff

11

Cedric Greene moved his litigation to Nevada, where he has filed ten cases1 just this year. In this

12

case, Greene sues the Alhambra Hospital Medical Center for emotional distress because the facility

13

failed to give him taxi fare to get home after he was discharged from the emergency room.2

14

Magistrate Judge Nancy Koppe granted Greene pauper status and screened his complaint.3 She

15

found that this court lacks subject-matter jurisdiction over this Californian-versus-Californian state-

16

law tort case and that venue is improper in this district and recommended that I dismiss this case.4

17

I granted Greene one extension of his deadline to object,5 but I denied his second requested

Doc. 7.

1

extension,6 adopted the magistrate judge’s findings, and dismissed this case.7 Judgment was

2

entered.8 Greene moved for reconsideration of that dismissal, and I denied his motion.9

3

Greene again moves for reconsideration of my dismissal order.10 The rules of this court do

4

not permit the filing of numerous motions for reconsideration. Greene has already had a full and fair

5

opportunity to challenge my dismissal order; that effort was unsuccessful. Any further challenge

6

should be by appeal in accordance with the rules of this court and the Federal Rules of Appellate

7

Procedure.11

8

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that Greene’s Motion for Reconsideration [Doc. 14]

9

is DENIED. This case has been closed. Greene MAY NOT FILE any more motions for

10

reconsideration in this case. Any future motion for reconsideration in this case will be

11

summarily denied.

Doc. 14. This is the same motion Greene filed in 2:15-cv-300-JAD-PAL. It was denied in that

case, too.

Even if I had considered this second motion for reconsideration on its merits, I still would have
denied it. Greene has not demonstrated that reconsideration is warranted here; he never even mentions
the merits of my order dismissing this case. His arguments are targeted instead at asking this court to
send his case to another jurist: a circuit court other than the Ninth Circuit, or perhaps the chief judge in
this district or a Nevada State Court. Doc. 14. Greene has offered no authority for this relief, and I
independently find no basis to afford it.
