LR 59-1. MOTIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION OF INTERLOCUTORY ORDERS

(a) A party seeking reconsideration of an interlocutory order under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) or 60(b) must file the motion within 28 days after entry of the order, unless another time period is specified by statute or rule.

(b) A motion for reconsideration must state with specificity the grounds for reconsideration. Reconsideration may be appropriate if: (1) there is newly discovered evidence that was not available when the court made the ruling; (2) the court committed clear error or the initial decision was manifestly unjust; or (3) if there is an intervening change in controlling law.

(c) A motion for reconsideration may not be used to raise arguments or present evidence that could have been raised prior to entry of the challenged order.
