The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
denying his motion for reconsideration under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
59(e) in plaintiff Isaac Garcia’s § 1983 action alleging federal and state law claims.
We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review for an abuse of
discretion. Sch. Dist. No. 1J Multnomah County, Or. v. ACandS, Inc., 5 F.3d 1255,
1262 (9th Cir. 1993). We affirm.
The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Escamilla’s Rule
59(e) motion for reconsideration because Escamilla failed to demonstrate any basis
for relief. See id. at 1262-63 (discussing when reconsideration is appropriate).
We reject as meritless Escamilla’s contentions that the district court lacked
original jurisdiction, or that plaintiff’s state law claims against Escamilla should
not have been tolled under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(d), see 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), (c), (d)
(providing circumstances under which district courts may assert or decline
supplemental jurisdiction, and tolling state statutes of limitations for “any claim”
asserted under this statute “while the claim is pending [in federal court] and for a
period of 30 days after it is dismissed unless State law provides for a longer tolling
period”). Escamilla’s reliance on Morris v. Giovan, 242 P.3d 181 (Ariz. Ct. App.
2010) is misplaced.
AFFIRMED.
