ORDER denying 81 Motion for Reconsideration ; denying 82 Motion for Reconsideration. Signed by District Judge David M. Lawson. (DTof)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
ANNE E. TANN,
Plaintiff,

Case Number 10-14696
Honorable David M. Lawson

v.
CHASE HOME FINANCE, L.L.C. and
IBM LENDER BUSINESS PROCESS
SERVICES, INC.,
Defendants.
____________________________________/
ORDER DENYING MOTIONS FOR RECONSIDERATION
The matter is before the Court on the defendants’ motions for reconsideration. A motion for
reconsideration may be granted pursuant to E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(h)(1) when the moving party shows
(1) a “palpable defect,” (2) that misled the court and the parties, and (3) that correcting the defect
will result in a different disposition of the case. E.D. Mich. LR 7.1(h)(3). “Generally, . . . the court
will not grant motions for . . . reconsideration that merely present the same issues ruled upon by the
court, either expressly or by reasonable implication.” Id. A “palpable defect” is a defect which is
obvious, clear, unmistakable, manifest, or plain. Mich. Dep’t of Treasury v. Michalec, 181 F. Supp.
2d 731, 734 (E.D. Mich. 2002) (citations omitted). The defendants have not presented evidence of
a palpable defect that misled the Court. Instead, the defendants’ motions merely revisit issues
already decided by the Court. Therefore, the Court will deny the defendants’ motions for
reconsideration.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the defendants’ motions for reconsideration [dkts. #81,
82] are DENIED.
