ERRATA by JOHN H. PAGE re 23 MOTION for ReconsiderationFirst MOTION to Alter Judgment Opinion and order of 1/29/2021MOTION to Vacate (PAGE, JOHN) Modified text on 2/18/2021 (ztd). (Entered: 02/17/2021)

MINUTE ORDER: Upon consideration of 23 Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration, the Motion is hereby DENIED. Plaintiff moves under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 59(e) and 60 to alter, amend, or vacate the Court's 21 Order dismissing this case. "A Rule 59(e) motion is discretionary and need not be granted unless the district court finds that there is an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice." Firestone v. Firestone, 76 F.3d 1205, 1208 (D.C. Cir. 1996) (internal quotation marks omitted). "A Rule 59(e) motion is not a second opportunity to present argument upon which the Court has already ruled, nor is it a means to bring before the Court theories or arguments that could have been advanced earlier." W.C. & A.N. Miller Cos. v. United States, 173 F.R.D. 1, 3 (D.D.C. 1997). Nor does "[m]ere disagreement" support reconsideration under Rule 59(e). Smith v. Lynch, 115 F. Supp. 3d 5, 12 (D.D.C. 2015) (quoting United States ex rel. Becker v. Westinghouse Savannah River Co., 305 F.3d 284, 290 (4th Cir. 2002)). The standards for reconsideration under the relevant provisions of Rule 60 are even more stringent. Rule 60(b)(6) authorizes the Court to vacate a final judgment only under "extraordinary circumstances." Kramer v. Gates, 481 F.3d 788, 790 (D.C. Cir. 2007). "[E]rror alone is not sufficient to warrant reconsideration" under Rule 60(b)(6). Shearill v. Peter N.G. Schwartz Mgmt. Co., 325 F.R.D. 28, 30 (D.D.C. 2018). And while Rule 60(b)(1) contemplates relief based on a "mistake," that provision "generally does not allow reconsideration of legal mistakes; it is reserved for the very limited situation when the controlling law of the circuit changed between the time of the court's judgment and the Rule 60 motion." Shearill, 325 F.R.D. at 30 n.1 (internal quotation marks omitted). The Court has carefully considered Plaintiff's Motion and finds that it does not meet the standards for reconsideration under Rules 59(e) and 60. Each of Plaintiff's arguments either was made or could have been made before final judgment. These arguments fail to demonstrate clear error, a change in controlling law, or other extraordinary circumstances. While Plaintiff expresses disagreement with the Court's analysis, the appropriate recourse for this disagreement is an appeal to the D.C. Circuit, not a motion for reconsideration. So Ordered. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 02/19/2021. (lccrc3)
