Defendants.

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Vernon W. Officer, Jr.’s Motion to

16

Appoint Counsel. Dkt. # 15. Plaintiff has previously requested the appointment of

17

counsel. Dkt. # 12. The Court denied Plaintiff’s request. Dkt. # 14. The Court thus

18

construes the instant motion as a motion for reconsideration. For the reasons that follow,

19

the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion.
“Motions for reconsideration are disfavored.” LCR 7(h)(1). “The court will

20
21

ordinarily deny such motions in the absence of a showing of manifest error in the prior

22

ruling or a showing of new facts or legal authority which could not have been brought to

23

its attention earlier with reasonable diligence.” Id.
