Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for the undersigned to reconsider her order

15

extending the time to file dispositive motions. See Docket No. 77; see also Docket No. 76 (order

16

extending the time to file dispositive motions). Defendants filed a response in opposition. Docket No.

17

18

Rule 78-2. For the reasons discussed below, the motion is hereby DENIED.

Motions for reconsideration are disfavored. E.g., Kabo Tools Co. v. Porauto Indus. Co., 2013

WL 5947138, *2 (D. Nev. Oct. 31, 2013) (citing Japan Cash Mach. Co. v. Mei, Inc., 2008 U.S. Dist.

21

Lexis 98778, *7 (D. Nev. Nov. 20, 2008)). “Reconsideration is appropriate if the district court (1) is

22

presented with newly discovered evidence; (2) committed clear error or the initial decision was

23

manifestly unjust; or (3) if there is an intervening change in controlling law.” Kabo Tools, 2013 WL

5947138, at *2 (quoting Frasure v. United States, 256 F. Supp. 2d 1180, 1183 (D. Nev. 2004)). Having

will consider the opposition in this case, but reminds counsel that the Court expects strict compliance
with the Local Rules in the future.

reviewed Plaintiff’s pending motion, the Court finds that none of those circumstances exist such that the

2

Court’s prior order should be changed.

3

Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is hereby DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
