8:09CV3220 ORDER

This matter is before the court on the defendant Gary Collins' (Collins) Motion for Reconsideration of Order Granting Plaintiff's Motion to Amend (Filing No. 59). Collins filed a brief (Filing No. 60) in support of the motion for reconsideration. On September 13, 2010, the court entered an order (Filing No. 57) granting the plaintiff's contested Motion for Leave to Amend Pleadings (Filing No. 53). The same day, the plaintiff filed the amended complaint (Filing No. 58). Collins argues he did not have an opportunity to respond to the factual and legal arguments made by the plaintiff in her reply brief, particularly because the plaintiff failed to file an opening brief at the time she filed her motion to amend. Specifically, Collins argues the plaintiff's motion to amend was untimely and without justification for the delay. Further, Collins argues he is prejudiced due to the change in the manner he would have conducted discovery, beyond having to re-depose the plaintiff. Collins' motion, filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60 and NECivR 60.1 fails to raise arguments or issues not considered by the court in the original briefing forming the basis of the September 13, 2010, order. The movant fails to raise manifest error in the ruling or new facts or legal authority, which could have, but were not brought to the court's attention as part of the earlier briefing schedule. For these reasons, Collins' motion will be denied. Upon consideration,

IT IS ORDERED: Collins' Motion for Reconsideration of Order Granting Plaintiff's Motion to Amend (Filing No. 59) is denied.
