ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Plaintiff’s motion for
reconsideration [Civil Case No. 1:13-cv-00229-MR-DLH, Doc. 10; Civil
Case No. 1:14-cv-00092-MR-DLH, Doc. 7].
The Plaintiff seeks reconsideration of the Orders dismissing these
civil actions, as well as the Order denying his Motion to Amend in Civil
Case No. 1:14-cv-00092-MR-DLH [Doc. 6].
Specifically, the Plaintiff
requests that these two civil actions should be reconsidered together and
by a different judge, as the Plaintiff believes that “Judge Dennis Howell has
shown bais [sic] to me and my case….” [Doc. 7 at 1].
The Plaintiff’s request for reconsideration is without merit. The Fourth
Circuit Court of Appeals recently affirmed the dismissal of Civil Case No.
1:13-cv-00029-MR-DLH.
Sterner v. Woodforest National Bank, 556 F.
App’x 273 (4th Cir. 2014). Moreover, while the Plaintiff complains of judicial
bias on the part of Magistrate Judge Howell, it was the undersigned, and
not Magistrate Judge Howell, who ordered the dismissal of the Plaintiff’s
actions.
Accordingly, for the reasons previously stated in the Court’s
Orders dismissing the Plaintiff’s actions and denying his motion to amend,
the Plaintiff’s request for reconsideration is denied.
Accordingly, IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s
motion for reconsideration [Civil Case No. 1:13-cv-00229-MR-DLH, Doc.
10; Civil Case No. 1:14-cv-00092-MR-DLH, Doc. 7] is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
