Lewis, Edward v. Stenz, Leon et al

Filing 22

Order DENYING plaintiff's 19 Motion alter or amend. Signed by District Judge William M. Conley on 4/24/2015. (elc),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
EDWARD MAX LEWIS,
ORDER

Plaintiff,
v.

14-cv-446-wmc

LEON STENZ, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiff Edward Max Lewis filed a civil action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, challenging
his prosecution and ensuing conviction. On March 30, 2015, the court denied him leave to
proceed and dismissed this action with prejudice as legally frivolous. Thereafter, Lewis filed a
pleading, which the court construed as a notice of appeal. (See Dkt. # 15). Lewis has now
filed a motion to alter or amend the judgment of dismissal 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). Lewis 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 Edward Max Lewis’s motion to alter or amend (dkt.
# 19) is DENIED.
Entered this 24th day of April, 2015.
