Order Re: Objection

Philip J. Kohn, et al.,

[ECF No. 13]

Defendants

Pro se plaintiff Barren Mar Thuna sued the Clark County Public Defender, multiple

11

deputy public defenders, and a justice court judge for allegedly violating his First, Fifth, Sixth,

12

and Eighth Amendment rights.1 On October 23, 2017, Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach

13

screened Thuna’s complaint, and he recommended that the court dismiss counts 1–3 against the

14

justice court judge only and count 4 against all defendants.2 The court received no objections,

15

and on November 15, 2017, adopted that recommendation and dismissed those claims.3

16

Thuna has filed an “objection” to that dismissal order, explaining that he did file an

17

objection but it must have been a casualty of “questionable” mail delivery at his detention

18

facility.4 He asks for the opportunity to file objections.

19

I construe his “objection” [ECF No. 13] as a motion for reconsideration, and—good cause

20

appearing—I grant that motion. Thuna has until December 29, 2017, to file a renewed motion

21

for reconsideration that includes all the points and authorities that he offered in his never-

22

received objection. The court will then reconsider the magistrate judge’s report and

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the “objection,” liberally construed as a

3

motion for reconsideration, [ECF No. 13] is GRANTED. Thuna has until December 29, 2017,

4

to file a renewed motion for reconsideration that includes the arguments raised in his original,

never-received objection.
