Draganov v. Nikolova

Filing 7

MINUTE ORDER denying Plaintiff's 6 Motion for Reconsideration. Draganov's response/motion restates his claims with some factual elaboration. (See Dkt. No. 6 at 1-6.) But, importantly, his complaint remains deficient, meaning the dismissal without prejudice must stand. This case will REMAIN closed and no further filings will be accepted. Authorized by U.S. District Judge John C Coughenour. (PM) cc: Plaintiff via the USPS

The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:
On April 21, 2017, this Court dismissed Plaintiff Detelin Draganov’s complaint because

18

it alleged no facts to support his claims. (Dkt. No. 5 at 1-2.) Draganov’s complaint was dismissed

19

without prejudice, meaning he could refile a new lawsuit based on the same claims, provided that

20

he cured the deficiencies identified by the Court.

21

Draganov now responds to the Court’s order. (Dkt. No. 6.) The Court construes this

22

response as a motion for reconsideration. Under this Court’s local rules, “[m]otions for

23

reconsideration are disfavored.” W.D. Wash. Local Civ. R. 7(h)(1). “The court will ordinarily

24

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

25

of new facts or legal authority which could not have been brought to its attention earlier with

26

reasonable diligence.” Id.
