Filing 22

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION re 21 Objection filed by PJ Cotter. Signed by District Judge Nancy G. Edmunds. (Ciesla, C)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

PJ COTTER,
Case No. 12-15382
Plaintiff,
Honorable Nancy G. Edmunds
v.
GMAC MORTGAGE, LLC,
Defendant.
/

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION [21]

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion [21] objecting to and asking
this Court to reconsider its earlier Order [19] accepting and adopting the Magistrate Judge’s
Report and Recommendation, and granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiff’s
motion is DENIED.
Pursuant to Rule 7.1(h) of the Local Rules for the Eastern District of Michigan, a court
has the discretion to grant a motion for reconsideration. It generally will not grant such a
motion that “merely present[s] the same issues ruled upon by the court, either expressly
or by reasonable implication.” E.D. Mich. R. 7.1(h). To persuade the court to grant the
motion, the movant “must not only demonstrate a palpable defect by which the court and
the parties . . . have been misled but also show that correcting the defect will result in a
different disposition of the case. Id.
Because Plaintiff’s motion fails to satisfy the rule’s requirements, it is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
