Bankr. E.D. Mich. — General rule
Rule 9024-1 Post-Judgment Motions
(a) A Motion for Reconsideration.
(1) Deadline. The deadline to file a motion for reconsideration of an order or judgment on the grounds that it was erroneous in fact or law is 14 days after the entry of the order or judgment.
(2) No Response and No Hearing Allowed. No response to the motion and no oral argument thereon will be allowed unless the court otherwise orders.
(3) Grounds. Generally, and without restricting the discretion of the court, a motion for reconsideration that merely presents the same issues ruled upon by the court, either expressly or by reasonable implication, will not be granted. The movant must not only demonstrate a palpable defect by which the court and the parties have been misled but also show that a different disposition of the case must result from a correction thereof.
(4) Brief. The movant must file a brief in support of the motion not exceeding 25 pages in length.
(5) Application. Subparts (a)(1)-(4) do not apply to a motion to reconsider an order disallowing a claim under F.R.Bankr.P. 3008.
(b) A Motion to Amend an Order or Judgment. If a motion is filed to amend an order or a judgment under F.R.Civ.P. 59(e), no response may be filed and no oral argument will be scheduled unless the court so orders.
(c) A Motion to Reinstate a Dismissed Case. If a motion is filed to reinstate a dismissed case on the grounds that the default that caused the dismissal has been or can be cured, no response may be filed and no oral argument will be scheduled unless the court so orders. A motion to reopen a closed case to file missing papers is covered by Local Rule 5010-1.

The following post-judgment motions must be filed under Local Rule 9014-1: (1) a motion for relief from an order due to mistake, inadvertence, excusable neglect, newly discovered evidence, fraud, etc., under F.R.Civ.P. 60(b); (2) a motion for a new or reopened evidentiary hearing or trial under F.R.Civ.P. 59(a)-(c); (3) a motion to reopen a closed bankruptcy case under § 350, except as provided in Local Rule 5010-1; and (4) a motion to reconsider an order disallowing a claim under F.R.Bankr.P. 3008.
