MEMORANDUM*
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the District of Oregon
Garr M. King, District Judge, Presiding
Submitted May 13, 2015**
Before: LEAVY, CALLAHAN, and M. SMITH, Circuit Judges.
Federal prisoner Jason Cavezza appeals pro se from the district court’s order
denying his motion to reconsider its April 29, 2014, order directing the Clerk to
return funds to Cavezza that he had sent to the court with a request for copies of
certain documents. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Cavezza contends that the district court should have directed the Clerk to
provide him with “certified” copies of certain documents from his criminal case
file or with a “certified” letter stating that the requested documents did not exist.
We review the district court’s denial of the motion for reconsideration for abuse of
discretion. See United States v. Tapia-Marquez, 361 F.3d 535, 537 (9th Cir. 2004).
The district court did not abuse its discretion because Cavezza has failed to show
that he is entitled to certified copies of the documents or the letter he requested. To
the extent that Cavezza petitions this court for a writ of mandamus, he has not
demonstrated that he is entitled to that extraordinary remedy. See Bauman v. U.S.
Dist. Court, 557 F.2d 650 (9th Cir. 1977).
AFFIRMED.
