Filing 7
ORDER FILED. Appellant was permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the district court. That status continues in this court because it has not been revoked. See Fed. R. App. P. 24(a). The motion (Docket Entry No. 3) to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal is therefore unnecessary. The opening brief was filed on September 4, 2026. The answering brief is due on November 6, 2026. The optional pro se reply brief is due 21 days after the answering brief is served. Appellant is not required to submit excerpts of record. If appellant does not submit excerpts, appellees must submit all documents cited in the pro se opening brief or otherwise required by the rules. See 9th Cir. R. 30-1. --[COURT UPDATE: Attached corrected PDF (to fix typo) and updated docket text to reflect correction.] [Entered: 09/09/2026 03:35 PM] [Edited: 09/10/2026 03:36 PM]

| Filing 6 District Court Order/Notice Received. EO: The Court DENIES [135] Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration and/or Clarification of the Order Adopting Findings and Recommendations ("Motion for Reconsideration"). First, Plaintiff fails to articulate any cognizable ground for reconsideration or clarification. Plaintiff cites Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59(e), 60(a), and 60(b), but doesnt contend that the Motion for Reconsideration is in response to any new or changed evidence, is necessary to prevent injustice, or that the challenged order demonstrates a manifest error. See Allstate Ins. Co. v. Herron, 634 F.3d 1101, 1111 (9th Cir. 2011). As to Rule 60(b), Plaintiff fails even to specify upon which subsection the Motion for Reconsideration relies, but regardless, none obviously apply to the situation here where Plaintiff merely disagrees with the Court's prior order. See White v. Sabatino, 424 F. Supp. 2d 1271, 1274 (D. Haw. 2006) ("Mere disagreement with a previous order is an insufficient basis for reconsideration" (citation omitted)). Second, and more fundamentally, the Court concludes there is no basis to reconsider or "clarify" its previous order. In its [132] Order Adopting Findings and Recommendations, the Court concluded that Plaintiff had failed to demonstrate the requisite exceptional circumstances to reopen this long-closed case. The Court then gave non-exhaustive examples of why it found that to be true. The Court stands by its conclusion, and nothing in Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration convinces the Court otherwise or persuades the Court that "clarification" is necessary. Nevertheless, the Court finds that Plaintiff has demonstrated indigency and thereby GRANTS the [137] Motion for Leave to Proceed on Appeal In Forma Pauperis.
