ORDER DENYING AS MOOT PLAINTIFF'S 78 Motion for Reconsideration re 77 Order on Motion to Appoint Counsel filed by Parrish Redd - Signed by Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen. (CCie)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

PARRISH REDD,
Plaintiff,

No. 14-14340

v.

District Judge Marianne O. Battani

TERRANCE VAILS, ET AL.,

ORDER DENYING RECONSIDERATION [Doc. #78]
Plaintiff Parrish Redd is litigating this case pro se. On May 19, 2016, I entered an
order denying his motion to appoint counsel [Doc. #77]. Before the Court at this time is
his motion for reconsideration of that order [Doc. #78].
Motions for reconsideration are subject to E.D. Mich. L.R. 7.1(g)(3), which
provides:
“(3) Grounds. Generally, and without restricting the court’s discretion, the
court will not grant motions for rehearing or reconsideration that merely
present the same issues ruled upon by the court, either expressly or by
reasonable implication. 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.”
Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration presents nothing new to show a “palpable
defect” in the proceedings, or that a different result should ensue. Instead, the motion

merely presents the same arguments that I have already considered and rejected.
Because Plaintiff has not met the demanding requirements of Rule 7.1(g)(3), the
motion for reconsideration [Doc. #78] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
