Wilmington, DE 19899 Motion for Reargument Dear Counsel:
Before me is Plaintiff's Motion for Reargument. The matter involves an advancement claim. I began the Memorandum Opinion under consideration by noting that such actions are often redolent of buyer's remorse. Any judicial decision granting a motion for reargument must be a subject of unqualified judicial remorse. This is such a decision.
My Memorandum Opinion of October 31, 2019 contains a basic and substantial error of fact. Upon review of the Plaintiff's Motion, it is clear that it must be withdrawn, which is the object of this Letter Order. Whether, and to what extent, the rectification of the error requires a substantive change in the outcome of the advancement issue therein addressed awaits briefing on the Motion for Reargument, but it is clear that regardless of that ultimate outcome, the Memorandum Opinion should be, and hereby is, withdrawn.
I take exception to one assertion made in Plaintiff's Motion. He blames the error in the Memorandum Opinion on the Defendants. That assertion is misplaced. Responsibility rests solely with the finder of fact, the author of the Memorandum Opinion.
My Memorandum Opinion of October 31, 2019 is WITHDRAWN.
To the extent the foregoing requires an order to take effect, it is SO ORDERED.
Sincerely,
/s/ Sam Glasscock III
