Case No. 11-13868
11-07-2013
MAURICE OAKLEY CLAY, Petitioner, v. DAVID BERGH, Respondent.
ORDER DENYING PETITIONER'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Michigan prisoner Maurice Oakley Clay ("Petitioner") has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his state criminal proceedings. The matter before the court is Petitioner's motion for reconsideration of the court's order denying his request for an evidentiary hearing. [Dkt. # 20.]
The court finds no reason to reconsider its prior ruling. A motion for reconsideration which presents issues already ruled upon, either expressly or by reasonable implication, will not be granted. Hence v. Smith, 49 F. Supp. 2d 547, 550 (E.D. Mich. 1999); Czajkowski v. Tindall & Assoc., P.C., 967 F. Supp. 951, 952 (E.D. Mich. 1997). Petitioner has not shown a palpable defect by which the court has been misled or that a different disposition must result from a correction thereof, as required by Local Rule 7.1(h)(3). Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Petitioner's motion for reconsideration [Dkt. # 21] is DENIED.
