Opinion
CASE NO. 07-22802-CIV-HIGHSMITH.
June 20, 2008
ORDER
THIS CAUSE is before the Court in this closed case upon Petitioner's Emergency Motion for Reconsideration and Relief from Order and Incorporated Memorandum of Law (DE #11).
Petitioner's Motion is really nothing more than his contention that this Court erred in dismissing his case. The purpose of a motion for reconsideration is "to correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence." See Association for Disabled Americans, Inc. v. Amoco Oil Company, 211 F.R.D. 457, 477 (S.D. Fla. 2002). But Petitioner fails to offer any new evidence for this Court to consider. A motion for reconsideration should not be used as a vehicle to present authorities available at the time of the first decision or to reiterate arguments previously made. Because Petitioner's Motion merely rehashes arguments already brought before this Court, Petitioner's Motion is DENIED. This case remains CLOSED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers, at Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida.
