No. 2:11-cv-127-JMS-DKL

Entry Concerning Selected Matters
The court, having considered the above action and the matters which are
pending, makes the following rulings:
1.
The petitioner’s motion for immediate reconsideration [57] is denied.
The reason for this ruling is that the motion is unfocused and fails to identify any
specific deficiency in any specific ruling issued in this case. See Patel v. Gonzales
442 F.3d 1011, 1015-1016 (7th Cir. 2006) (“A motion to reconsider asks that a
decision be reexamined in light of additional legal arguments, a change of law, or an
argument that was overlooked earlier . . . .”).
2.
The petitioner has tendered subpoenas. These shall not be issued
because a hearing has not been set, because discovery has not been authorized, and
because there is no showing that the resolution of the action, which is now fully
briefed, requires or would be advanced through the issuance of the tendered
subpoenas.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
