Opinion
02 Civ. 0425 (LAK)
October 15, 2002
ORDER
Defendant Charles Schwab Co., Inc. ("Schwab") moves for reconsideration of the Court's ruling on its motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, arguing that the state and city anti-discrimination laws upon which plaintiff bases his case do not apply in these circumstances, essentially for the reason implicit in footnote 3 of the Court's opinion.
The purpose of a motion for reconsideration is to invite review of a ruling on the ground that the Court overlooked material facts or authorities. S.D.N.Y. Civ.R. 6.3. It is not to seek a different outcome on the basis of an argument that was not made in the first place.
The argument Schwab now makes was not advanced in support of its motion for summary judgment. Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is denied. Schwab of course remains free to seek to raise the issue by other appropriate means.
SO ORDERED.
