RULING ON PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
OF COURT'S RULING [DOC. 309] ON PENDING MOTIONS

HAIGHT, Senior District Judge:
Plaintiff has filed a limited motion [Doc. 310] for reconsideration of one point contained in
the Court's Ruling [Doc. 309] on certain pending motions in this Title VII case.
Specifically, Plaintiff focuses upon the last sentence in that Ruling and accompanying Order
(page 7), which reads as follows: "5. No reference is made in this Order to the oral exam [Doc. 106]
because that was not involved in any of the prior motions." Plaintiff's present motion requests at 1
"that the Court's Ruling be modified to reflect that it applies to both portions of the test, Dkt ## 105
and 106."
Plaintiff's present motion identifies an inaccuracy in the quoted sentence from the Court's
Order. It is incorrect to say that the oral exam "was not involved in any of the prior motions." While

1

Plaintiff's motion to modify the protective order [Doc. 292] referred only to the written portion, the
Intervenors' subsequent motion [Doc. 299] and Plaintiff's motion to seal [Doc. 302] referred to the
entire test, that is to say, both the written and oral parts.
This complication is not substantive in any way. The sensible modification is simply to
delete Paragraph 5 from the Order with which the Court's Ruling and Order [Doc. 309] concludes.
In these circumstances, Plaintiff's present motion for reconsideration is GRANTED. The
Court's Ruling and Order [Doc. 309] is MODIFIED by DELETING Paragraph 5 from page 7.
It is SO ORDERED.
