IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit FILED April 25, 2008 No. 07-31085 Charles R. Fulbruge III Summary Calendar Clerk KELVIN WELLS Plaintiff-Appellant v. ANN S. WILLIAMS; GINA LIDBERG; JESSICA GRIFFIN; GERLEENE YOUNG; UNKNOWN DEWITT; CHERYL HAWKINS Defendants-Appellees Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana USDC No. 3:06-CV-247 Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and ELROD, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Kelvin Wells appeals, pro se, the 5 November 2007 denial of his motion for reconsideration. The denial of such a motion is reviewed for abuse of discretion. E.g., LeClerc v. Webb, 419 F.3d 405, 412 n.13 (5th Cir. 2005) (citation omitted). In his motion, Wells was required to establish either manifest error of law or fact, or to present newly discovered evidence. E.g., Templet v. HydroChem Inc., * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 07-31085 367 F.3d 473, 479 (5th Cir. 2004) (citation omitted). Instead, he offered nothing but a conclusory statement of his entitlement to relief. AFFIRMED. 2
