Peter J. CORINES, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. AMERICAN PHYSICIANS INSURANCE TRUST, USI Administrators, Inc. Hartford Life Insurance Co., and Continental Casualty Co. d/b/a C.N.A. Insurance Co., Defendants-Appellees, 615 F. App'x 708

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.
