Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Arizona
David G. Campbell, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted October 25, 2011 **
Before: TROTT, GOULD, and RAWLINSON, Circuit Judges.
Dwayne E. McIntosh appeals pro se from the district court’s summary
judgment in his action alleging employment discrimination on the basis of race in
violation of Title VII and 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 and 1983. We have jurisdiction under

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent
except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.

The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Noyes v. Kelly Servs., 488 F.3d 1163, 1167
(9th Cir. 2007), and we affirm.
The district court properly granted summary judgment because McIntosh
failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendants’
legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for not hiring him for another position was
pretext for discrimination. See id. at 1169-70 (stating that circumstantial evidence
of pretext must be specific and substantial).
The district court did not abuse its discretion by granting defendants’ motion
for reconsideration of the court’s order denying summary judgment in part, given
that defendants showed good cause for seeking reconsideration based on newly
discovered evidence. See Ariz. Dist. LRCiv. 7.2(g) (providing that a motion for
reconsideration may be based on a showing of new facts and may be filed after the
deadline for good cause); Hinton v. Pac. Enters., 5 F.3d 391, 395 (9th Cir. 1993)
(reviewing application of local rules for abuse of discretion); see also Hoffman v.
Tonnemacher, 593 F.3d 908, 911 (9th Cir. 2010) (district courts may entertain
successive motions for summary judgment).
AFFIRMED.
