Hon. John Corbett O'Meara
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Before the court is Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of the court's July 15, 2011 opinion and order granting in part Defendants' motion to dismiss. The court did not request a response or hear oral argument. The standard for granting motions for reconsideration is as follows:
Generally, and without restricting the court's discretion, the court will not grant motions for rehearing or reconsideration which merely present the same issues ruled upon by the court, either expressly or by reasonable implication. The movant shall not only demonstrate a palpable defect by which the court and the parties have been misled but also show that correcting the defect will result in a different disposition of the case.LR 7.1(h)(3).
Having filed a motion for reconsideration that presents the same issues ruled upon by the court, either expressly or by reasonable implication, Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate a palpable defect by which the court and the parties have been misled. Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration is DENIED.
John Corbett O'Meara
United States District Judge
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon counsel of record on this date, January 10, 2012, using the ECF system.
