CIVIL NO. 1:02-CV-01586
(Judge Conner)

ORDER
AND NOW, this 8th day of March, 2013, upon consideration of the motion for
reconsideration (Doc. 475), filed by plaintiff Teresa Anne Scott (“Scott”), wherein
Scott seeks reconsideration of the court’s order (Doc. 461), dated August 15, 2012,
denying Scott’s motion to alter or amend judgment entered in favor of Evan Adams
(Doc. 456) and a motion for a new trial or entry or judgment pursuant to Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b) (Doc. 458), and it appearing that Scott has filed an
appeal of the court’s orders that is currently before the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals, see Scott v. Lackey, No. 12-3321, and the court recognizing that the filing
of a notice of appeal “confers jurisdiction on the court of appeals and divests the
district court of its control over those aspects of the case involved in the appeal,”
Griggs v. Provident Consumer Discount Co., 459 U.S. 56, 58 (1982), and the court

therefore concluding that it does not have jurisdiction over the pending motion, it is
hereby ORDERED that the motion for reconsideration is DISMISSED for want of
jurisdiction.
