The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ motion for reconsideration and for
18
permission to file second amended complaint (Dkt. No. 80). Plaintiffs move the Court to
19
(1) reconsider its previous order staying the case (Dkt. No. 77), (2) permit Plaintiffs to file a
20
second amended complaint, and (3) rule that Plaintiffs’ newly filed Private Attorney General Act
21
(PAGA) claim is not subject to the stay and permit Plaintiffs to transfer the claim to this Court
22
and pursue it as part of this case. (Dkt. No. 80.)
23
Under the Local Civil Rules, “[m]otions for reconsideration are disfavored.” LCR
24
7(h)(1). “The court will ordinarily deny such motions in the absence of a showing of manifest
25
error in the prior ruling or a showing of new facts or legal authority which could not have been
26
brought to its attention earlier with reasonable diligence.” Id. Plaintiffs have not met this

standard. The motion for reconsideration (Dkt. No. 80) is therefore DENIED. The previous
2
motion for reconsideration, which was filed in excess of the page limits imposed by the Local
3
Civil Rules (Dkt. No. 78) is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
4
Plaintiffs are hereby given permission to file their second amended complaint. Plaintiffs
5
may add their PAGA claim to the second amended complaint. However, the case will remain
6
stayed per the Court’s previous order. (Dkt. No. 77.)
