UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION

G. MITCHELL DAVIS,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 8:12-cv-60-T-30MAP

TAMPA BAY ARENA, LTD.,
d/b/a St. Pete Times Forum,
Defendant.
_____________________________________/

ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon Defendant’s Motion for Reconsideration
of the Court’s Order on Defendant’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees (Dkt. 126) and Plaintiff’s
Response in Opposition (Dkt. 127). The Court, having reviewed the motion, response, and
being otherwise advised in the premises, concludes that the motion should be denied.
As the Court noted in its order (Dkt. 115), in copyright cases, the decision to award
attorney’s fees is within the Court’s sound discretion. After considering the relevant factors
on this issue, the Court concluded that an award of fees was inappropriate. Defendant’s
motion does not offer any valid basis that would warrant reconsideration. It is nothing more
than the quintessential second bite of the apple.

It is therefore ORDERED AND

ADJUDGED that Defendant’s Motion for Reconsideration of the Court’s Order on
Defendant’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees (Dkt. 126) is DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on October 23, 2013.
