Corines v. American Physicians Insurance Trust

615 F. App'x 708

Opinion

SUMMARY ORDER

Peter J. Corines, pro se, appeals from the district court’s denial of his request for an extension of time to file a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e). A district court is not empowered to extend the time to file a Rule 59(e) motion. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(b)(2) (providing that “[a] court must not extend the time to act under” Rule 59(e)); see also Lichtenberg v. Besicorp Grp. Inc., 204 F.3d 397, 404 (2d Cir.2000) (explaining that “any request ... for an extension of the time to move under ... Rule [59(e) ] would have been a request that, given the prohibition in Civil Rule 6(b), could not properly be made”). We therefore perceive no basis to disturb the district court’s decision.

Accordingly, we AFFIRM.
