The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1)
Defendant David A. Gould’s motion to dismiss, docket no. 49, is
TREATED as a motion for reconsideration and is DENIED. The Court denied Gould’s
motion to dismiss, for judgment on the pleadings, or for a more definite statement, docket
no. 28, for the reasons set forth in the Government’s response, docket no. 34. See Minute
Order (docket no. 36). In his untimely motion for reconsideration, see Local Civil
Rule 7(h)(2) (setting forth a 14-day deadline), Gould presents the same arguments made
in his earlier motion, and he has not shown either manifest error in the prior ruling or new
facts or legal authority that could not have been brought to the Court’s attention earlier
with reasonable diligence, see Local Civil Rule 7(h)(1). Moreover, Gould filed his
current motion after the extended deadline for him to file an answer to the Government’s
Amended Complaint expired on October 16, 2017. See Minute Order (docket no. 47).
