Date Filed Document Text
September 11, 2020 Opinion or Order Notation Order: This civil action is before the Court on Plaintiff's Rule 52(b) motion to amend (the "Motion to Amend"). (Doc. #23 ). In the Motion to Amend, Plaintiff asks the Court to amend its prior findings, conclusions, and judgment, such that Plaintiff's claims against Defendants are dismissed without (as opposed to with) prejudice. (Id. at 1). Plaintiff argues that a dismissal without prejudice is proper so that Plaintiff can seek to recover against Defendants under various fraud/conspiracy theories. (See generally id.). On review, the Motion to Amend is not well taken. As an initial matter, Plaintiff has not filed the Motion to Amend within the 28-day deadline set forth in Rule 52(b). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(b) (stating that a party must file a motion for amended findings "no later than 28 days after the entry of judgment..."). Moreover, Plaintiff has not shown that any manifest error, new evidence, or changed law requires amendment. See Dayton Pulmonary Rehab. Ctr., Inc. v. Meridian Healthcare Grp., Inc., No. 3:10-CV-128, 2012 WL 3527814, at *1 (S.D. Ohio Aug. 14, 2012) ("Relief under Rule 52(b) is proper only upon a showing of a manifest error of fact or law by the trial court, newly discovered evidence, or a change in the law." (quotation marks and citations omitted)). Finally, as the Magistrate Judge has already indicated, "justice simply does not require this Court to permit a pro se plaintiff unlimited opportunities to amend his complaint, in hopes of eventually stating some claim." (Doc. #19 at 3). In the end, the Court properly dismissed Plaintiff's claims against Defendants with prejudice. (See Docs. #13 , #16 , #19 , #21 ). And, accordingly, Plaintiff's Motion to Amend (Doc. #23 ) must be and is hereby DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Timothy S. Black on 9/11/2020. (rrs)

September 9, 2019 Opinion or Order NOTATION ORDER: This case is before the Court on Plaintiff's motion for additional findings. #22 . Specifically, Plaintiff asks the Court to explain its Order adopting the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation and to further opine on matters the Court has previously resolved. #22 . This Court's Order sufficiently sets forth its basis for adopting the Report and Recommendation, and the prior Orders and Report and Recommendations in this case fully address all matters properly before the Court. (See Docs. #4 , #8 , #13 , #16 , #19 , #21 . Plaintiff's continued dissatisfaction in the outcome of this case does not entitle him to further consideration. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion for additional findings #22 is DENIED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Timothy S. Black on 9/6/19.
