OPINION & ORDER This matter is before the court on Defendant Pefanis' motion for reconsideration [285] and Defendant Pefanis' motion for leave to file excess pages [287]. On February 18, 2010, the court granted in part and denied in part Plaintiff's emergency motion to compel against Defendant Pefanis. Shortly thereafter, Defendant Pefanis ­ at that time unrepresented by counsel ­ filed a motion seeking leave of the court to depose non-party David Popke, a former employee of AME Financial Corp. In an order dated March 2, 2010, the court denied Defendant Pefanis' request to depose Mr. Popke, noting that Mr. Popke had left AME's employ in December 2007, long before the relevant time period for Plaintiff's motion to compel. Several days later, Defendant Pefanis asked the court to reconsider its order. Defendant Pefanis argued that Mr. Popke might have
