PLAINTIFFS

No. 3:10-CV-03109

FORD MOTOR COMPANY

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Currently before the Court are Plaintiffs’ Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s Order
entered November 29, 2011 (Doc. 53) and Defendant’s Response (Doc. 54). For the reasons stated
herein, Plaintiffs’ Motion is DENIED.
I. Discussion
Plaintiffs are requesting that this Court reconsider its Order of November 29, 2011 (Doc. 51)
which denied Plaintiffs’ Motion to Alter and Grant Relief to Order Granting Defendant’s Motion for
Summary Judgment.
The Court’s previous orders in this matter speak for themselves. However, to the extent there
is any confusion, the Court did not remand this matter to the Circuit Court of Baxter County. The
language regarding the state court having the authority to grant Plaintiffs the relief they are seeking
concerns the underlying case the Plaintiffs are already pursuing in state court, not the independent
action this Court dismissed through summary judgment in its Order of July 19, 2011 (Doc. 46).
II. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, the Court finds that Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s

Order (Doc. 53) should be, and hereby is, DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 16th day of December, 2011.
