IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
JAMES T. KING,
Petitioner,

ORDER

v.

13-cv-537-wmc

R. WERLINGER, Warden,
FCI- OXFORD,
Respondent.
Federal prisoner James T. King filed a petition for relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241
from a conviction and sentence imposed by the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois. On December 19, 2013, the court dismissed this action for lack
of jurisdiction. King 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. City
of Aurora, Ill., 487 F.3d 506, 511-12 (7th Cir. 2007). King 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 James T. King’s motion for reconsideration (Dkt. # 7) is
DENIED.
Entered this 13th day of January, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
