AMANDA RENZELMAN,

DON W. ANDERSON, individually

Defendants.

Before the Court, without oral argument, is Plaintiff Liliana M. Meske’s
13
Motion for Reconsideration, ECF No. 61. On August 4, 2017, the Court denied
14
Defendants’ motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims against Asotin County Sheriff’s
15
Department. ECF No. 55. On August 9, 2017, the Court granted Defendants’
16
motion to reconsider that decision and dismissed Plaintiff’s claims against the
17
Asotin County Sheriff’s Department because Plaintiff had voluntarily withdrawn
18
her causes of action against the Sheriff’s Department. ECF No. 60. On that same
19
day, Plaintiff filed an amended response removing her statement that she agreed to
20
withdraw claims against the Sheriff’s Department, ECF No. 57, and filed a motion

ORDER - 1

1

for reconsideration of the Court’s order granting Defendants’ motion for

2

reconsideration. ECF No. 60.

3

The Court is fully informed and denies Plaintiff’s motion. The Court issued

4

a decision on the merits of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 32, in error

5

because the Court was unaware that Plaintiff had already withdrawn her claims

6

against the Sheriff’s Department, ECF No. 48 at 2. Plaintiff does not get to take

7

back her decision to withdraw her claims now that she knows the Court would

8

have been receptive to an argument against dismissal of those claims.

9

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

10

1.

11

IT IS SO ORDERED. The Clerk’s Office is directed to enter this Order

12
13

Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration, ECF No. 61, is DENIED.

and provide copies to all counsel.
DATED this 22nd day of August 2017.
