Filing 38

ORDER denying 33 Motion for Reconsideration. Signed by District Judge John Corbett O'Meara. (WBar)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. CHARLES J. BARR, et al., Defendants. / ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT CAROLYN BARR'S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION This matter came before the court on defendant Carolyn Barr's motion for reconsideration of the court's order granting United States' motion for summary judgment. Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(g)(2), the court ordered the government to file a response; and the government complied in a timely fashion. No oral argument was heard. Id. 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. Local Rule 7.1(g)(3). In this case defendant Carolyn Barr's motion for reconsideration merely presents the same issues ruled upon by the court and fails to demonstrate a palpable defect by which the court and the parties have been misled. Case No. 07-11717 Honorable John Corbett O'Meara

ORDER It is hereby ORDERED that defendant Carolyn Barr's motion for reconsideration is DENIED.
