MEMORANDUM OPINION

RICARDO URBINA, District Judge

Plaintiff moves for reconsideration of the Order filed December 11, 2008, dismissing this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Plaintiff requests in the alternative that the submission be treated as his notice of appeal. A motion for reconsideration need not be granted "unless the district court finds that there is an intervening change in controlling law, the availability of new evidence or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice." Firestone v. Firestone, 76 F.3d 1205, 1208 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (citations and quotation marks omitted). The motion provides no basis for vacating the dismissal order. Accordingly, it is this 8^th day of January 2009,

ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for reconsideration [Dkt. No. 5] is DENIED; and it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk docket the submission also as plaintiff's notice of appeal.
