ORDER

14
15

This case arises out of a series of disputes between an apartment complex and two of its

16

residents, including a physical altercation leading to the arrest of one of the residents. The Court

17

recently granted a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for the Court to

18

reopen the case, i.e., a motion for reconsideration. The Court noted in the order that Plaintiffs

19

failed to appear at the hearing but granted the motion on the merits after considering all the

20

pleadings. Plaintiffs note that they filed a motion to continue the hearing the day before the

21

hearing, but the Court did not vacate the hearing, which had been scheduled for two months and

22

which required air travel of the undersigned and his staff. Plaintiffs argue that one of the

23

Plaintiffs was ill but do not allege that the other Plaintiff was unable to attend or that the first

24

Plaintiff was unable to attend telephonically. The remainder of the motion consists of recitations

25

and amplifications of allegations made in the Amended Complaint.
