Civil Action No. 7:15cv00492
ORDER
By: Norman K. Moon
United States District Judge

This matter is before me on Abdul-Sabur’s motion to reconsider my order denying his
motion for a temporary restraining order in this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. By order entered March 21, 2016, I denied Abdul-Sabur’s motion without prejudice
because he failed to demonstrate that he is likely to succeed on the merits of his claim or that he
is likely to suffer “actual and imminent” irreparable harm in the absence of relief. In his instant
motion, Abdul-Sabur asks the court to reconsider his motion because he received four
disciplinary infractions between December 2015 and February 2016, he served over fifty days in
punitive segregation, he was fined $30, he lost seven years of good conduct time, and he was
verbally threatened “over three months ago” that if he did not stop running his mouth, he “would
regret that [he] had never been born.” Having reviewed Abdul-Sabur’s instant motion and
pertinent portions of the record, I conclude that the motion was properly denied. Accordingly, it
is hereby ORDERED that Abdul-Sabur’s motion for reconsideration (Docket No. 52) is
DENIED.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this order to the parties.
31st
ENTER: This ____ day of March, 2016.
