Derrick Billups v. Jean Howard
Derrick Billups v. Jean Howard
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
Derrick Billups, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se from the district court’s order denying his motion to reconsider. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for abuse of discretion a district court’s decision denying a motion to reconsider. Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court determined that Bill-ups failed to exhaust his administrative remedies prior to filing his complaint because his last administrative appeal was completed approximately six months after he filed his complaint in district court. See McKinney v. Carey, 311 F.3d 1198, 1199-1201 (9th Cir. 2002). The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Billups’s motion to reconsider because Billups did not present grounds warranting relief. See Harvest v. Castro, 531 F.3d 737, 749 (9th Cir. 2008) (on reconsideration, a party must “demonstrate both injury and circumstances beyond his control that prevented him from proceeding with the action in a proper fashion” (internal quotations and citation omitted)).
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
