PLAINTIFF

CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:14-CV-00524-CRS

v.

CLARIANT CORPORATION

DEFENDANT

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Plaintiff’s complaint sought to compel Defendant to arbitrate certain grievances. This
Court, however, granted Defendant’s motion for summary judgment on Plaintiff’s claim to
compel arbitration. Order, ECF No. 39. In granting that motion, the Court found that the parties
had settled the relevant grievances and arbitration was not required under the parties’ collective
bargaining agreement.
Plaintiff now asks this Court to reconsider its ruling under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e), 60(b)(1),
or 60(b)(6) on the grounds that the Defendant has not complied with the settlement agreement.
The Court has found the existence of a settlement agreement. Whether the parties live up to that
settlement is another matter, and is not the proper subject of a motion to reconsider.
Plaintiff’s motion to amend or alter judgment or in the alternative for relief from final
judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) will be denied.
A separate order will be entered in accordance with this opinion.
