ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion for relief from judgment.
Plaintiff is a prisoner of the State of North Carolina and he filed a pro se complaint
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 contending that the defendants violated his civil rights in
connection with an alleged attack he sustained while housed in the Lanesboro Correctional
Institution. After conducting an initial review of the § 1983 complaint, the Court found that
Plaintiff had failed to state a claim for relief and the complaint was dismissed pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1). (3:15-cv-00068, Doc. No. 8: Order, filed June 1, 2015). Plaintiff filed a
motion for reconsideration on or about June 15, 2015, which the Court denied. (Id., Doc. No.
11).
In his present motion for relief from judgment, which was filed some 6-months after the
Court denied his motion for reconsideration, Plaintiff again challenges the dismissal of his §
1983 complaint. (Id., Doc. No. 12). The Court has examined the motion and finds that it should
be denied for the reasons previously stated.
1

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion for relief from judgment is
DENIED. (Doc. No. 12).
SO ORDERED.
