Filing 29

ORDER denying Defendant's 26 Motion for Reconsideration and 24 Motion to Deny. Signed by Judge J. Owen Forrester on 4/14/09. (bse)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA ATLANTA DIVISION MONUMENTAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Plaintiff, v. ROBERT M. SMITH, JR., et al., Defendants. : : : : : : : : : :

CIVIL ACTION NO. 1:07-CV-0558-JOF

ORDER The instant matter is before the court on Defendant Robert Smith's Motion to Deny [24] filed November 3, 2008 and Motion for Reconsideration filed January 16, 2009 [26]. Defendant's current motions are simply a re-articulation of his Motion to Deny filed on August 4, 2008, which the court construed as a motion to open default and denied. The court construes the instant motion to deny as a motion for reconsideration. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.2(E) motions for reconsideration should not be filed as a matter of routine practice and should be filed only when absolutely necessary. Here, Defendant fails to offer any reason for the court to reconsider. Defendant's Motion to Deny [24] and Motion for Reconsideration [26] are DENIED.

AO 72A (Rev.8/82)

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of April 2009.
