Petitioner,
v.
JEFF NORMAN,
Respondent.

Cause No. 4:11 CV 1181 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration [#25].
Petitioner argues that the Court erred in denying his application for writ of habeas corpus.
“Motions for reconsideration serve a limited function: to correct manifest errors of law or
fact or to present newly discovered evidence.” Hagerman v. Yukon Energy Corp., 839 F.2d 407,
414 (8th Cir.1988) (quoting Rothwell Cotton Co. v. Rosenthal & Co., 827 F.2d 246, 251 (7th
Cir.), as amended, 835 F.2d 710 (7th Cir.1987)).
Petitioner’s motion merely reasserts his arguments from his Section 2254 petition.
Petitioner does not assert manifest errors of law or fact and does not present newly discovered
evidence. As a result, his motion will be denied.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration [#25] is
DENIED.
