HONORABLE RONALD B. LEIGHTON

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT TACOMA Case No. C10-5247RBL ORDER

THIS MATTER comes on before the above-entitled Court upon Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration [Dkt. #4]. Having considered the entirety of the records and file herein, the Court finds and rules as follows: Although plaintiff cites to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(4)(iv), Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(a), this motion is more appropriately considered as a motion for reconsideration under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b). Under CR 7(h), Local Rules W.D. Wash., motions for reconsideration are disfavored and will ordinarily not be considered unless the movant shows manifest error or shows new facts or legal authority that could not have been presented earlier with reasonable diligence. That standard has not been met here. The Court had before it all the information plaintiff presented and the ruling was not in error. Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration [Dkt. #4] is DENIED. The Court will accept no further filings other than a Notice of Appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in this closed case. IT IS SO ORDERED.
