Adell, Mark v. Smith, Judy et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
MARKANTHONY ADELL,
ORDER
Plaintiff,
l 2-cv-452-wmc

v.

JUDY SMITH, et al.,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Mark Anthony Adell filed a civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that
he was denied access to adequate legal materials.

On December 23, 2013, the court

dismissed this action for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Adell has
now filed a motion for reconsideration, which is construed as one seeking to alter or amend
the judgment under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). To prevail on a motion under Rule 59(e), the
moving party must identify an error of law that merits reconsideration of the judgment. See
Obriecht v. Raemisch, 517 F.3d 489, 494 (7th Cir. 2008); Sigsworth v. Ci07 of Aurora, Ill., 487

F.3d 506, 511-12 (7th Cir. 2007). Adell does not show that the dismissal order was entered
in error or that he is entitled to relief from the judgment. Accordingly, the motion will be
denied.
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Mark Anthony Adell's motion for reconsideration

(Dkt. # 18) is DENIED.
