ORDER

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on a Motion for Reconsideration by pro se
Plaintiff of this Court’s prior order denying Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File
Notice of Appeal. (Doc. No. 15). The Court denies the motion for reconsideration for the
reasons stated in the Court’s original order denying the motion. See (Doc. No. 14).
Furthermore, to the extent that Plaintiff attached a motion to amend his Complaint to his
motion for time to file his appeal, (Doc. Nos. 10-1, 10-2), the Court denies the motion to amend
as futile, as the allegations in the proposed amended Complaint substantially restate the factual
allegations made in Plaintiff’s original Complaint.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration, (Doc.
No. 15), is DENIED.
