2:20-cv-00380
Bankruptcy Appeal

Appellees,
MEMORANDUM ORDER
Upon receipt of Appellant’s filing at ECF No. 35, the Court will treat the same as a
Motion for Reconsideration of its August 27, 2020 Opinion and Order affirming the February 25,
2020 judgment of the bankruptcy court (ECF Nos. 33 and 34). After review of the said motion,
the same will be denied.
A motion for reconsideration under Rule 59(e) must rely on one of three grounds: (1) an
intervening change in the law; (2) the availability of new evidence; or (3) the need to correct
clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice. Wingate Inns Int'l, Inc.v. Hightech Inn.com, LLC,
429 F. App'x 152, 154 (3d Cir.2011) (citing N. River Ins. Co. v. CIGNA Reinsurance Co., 52
F.3d 1194, 1218 (3d Cir.1995)). A motion for reconsideration is not properly grounded in a
request for a district court to rethink a decision it has already rightly or wrongly made. Williams
v. Pittsburgh, 32 F.Supp.2d 236, 238 (W.D.Pa.1998). Litigants are cautioned to “evaluate
whether what may seem to be a clear error of law is in fact simply a point of disagreement
between the Court and the litigant.” Waye v. First Citizen's Nat'l Bank, 846 F.Supp. 310, 314 n. 3
(M.D.Pa.1994) (internal quotation omitted).

Case 2:20-cv-00380-MJH Document 36 Filed 08/31/20 Page 2 of 3

After careful review of the filings by Mr. Reinert, the Court finds that he has not
identified any grounds that would warrant reconsideration of this Court’s Opinion and Order.
This Court fully analyzed and addressed Mr. Reinert’s legal challenges, including those raised in
his Motion for Reconsideration, in its August 27, 2020 Opinion an Order. Accordingly, Mr.
Reinert’s Motion for Reconsideration is denied.
For the reasons stated in this Court’s August 27, 2020 Opinion and Order, the judgment
of the bankruptcy court is affirmed, and this Memorandum Order shall constitute a final order
and judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 58. Furthermore, the Clerk shall
transmit this Order and this Court’s Opinion and Order of August 27, 2020 to the bankruptcy
court pursuant to Fed. R. Bank. P. 8024.
BY THE COURT:
Dated: August 31, 2020
