Opinion

Civil Action No. 06-cv-02148-BNB-MEH

03-18-2013

DARRELL FORTNER, and JENNIFER FORTNER, d/b/a Diamond/Dundee Tree Service, Plaintiffs, v. KATHY YOUNG, individually and in her official capacity as City Clerk of C/S, DARREL PEARSON, individually and in his official capacity as City Forrester of C/S, and JAMES E. MCGANNON, individually and in his official capacity as City Forrester for the City of Colorado Springs, CO, Defendants.


Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland


ORDER

This matter arises on Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration [Doc.#549, filed 03/14/2013]. The Motion is DENIED.

The plaintiffs, Darrell and Jennifer Fortner, are proceeding pro se. On December 12, 2012, defendants Choate and Maketa (the "County Defendants") filed a Motion to Enforce Settlement [Doc. #518] stating that the Fortners had entered into a settlement agreement with them but had improperly withdrawn from the agreement. On March 4, 2013, I issued an order [Doc. #540] granting the County Defendants' Motion to Enforce Settlement.

Therefore, I must liberally construe their pleadings. Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972).

The Fortners request that I reconsider my order granting the County Defendants' Motion to Enforce Settlement. "[A] motion for reconsideration is appropriate where the court has misapprehended the facts, a party's position, or the controlling law. It is not appropriate to revisit issues already addressed or advance arguments that could have been raised in prior briefing." Servants of the Paraclete v. Does, 204 F.3d 1005, 1012 (10th Cir. 2000) (citations omitted). The plaintiffs' motion reiterates arguments already made and advances arguments that could have been raised previously. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiffs' Motion for Reconsideration [Doc.#549] is DENIED.

BY THE COURT:
