Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255, 1262 (9th
Cir. 1993) (motion for reconsideration); Hinton v. Pac. Enters., 5 F.3d 391, 395
(9th Cir. 1993) (compliance with local rules). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion by denying Zakat’s second and
third motions for reconsideration because Zakat failed to establish a basis for such
relief. See W.D. Wash. R. 7(h)(1) (setting forth grounds for reconsideration under
local rules); Sch. Dist. No. 1J, Multnomah Cnty., Or., 5 F.3d at 1263 (setting forth
grounds for reconsideration under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure).
AFFIRMED.
