LR60.1. Motions for Reconsideration.

Motions seeking reconsideration of case-dispositive orders shall be governed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 59 or 60, as applicable. Motions for reconsideration of interlocutory orders may be brought only upon the following grounds:

(a) Discovery of new material facts not previously available;

(b) Intervening change in law; and/or

(c) Manifest error of law or fact.

Motions asserted under subsection (c) of this rule must be filed and served within fourteen (14) days after the court's order is issued.

Motions for reconsideration are disfavored. A motion may not repeat arguments already made, unless necessary to present one or more of the permissible grounds for the reconsideration request, as set forth above. A movant who repeats arguments already made for any other reason will be subject to appropriate sanctions.

No opposition or reply shall be filed unless directed by the court. A motion for reconsideration will not be granted, unless the non-moving party is given the opportunity to respond.
