The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.

16 Coughenour, United States District Judge:
17

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration (Dkt. No.

18 45) of this Court’s order (Dkt. No. 43) granting in part and denying in part Plaintiff’s motion for
19 summary judgment (Dkt. No. 36).
20

“Motions for reconsideration are disfavored.” W.D. Wash. Local Civ. R. 7(h). “The court

21 will ordinarily deny such motions in the absence of a showing of manifest error in the prior
22 ruling or a showing of new facts or legal authority which could not have been brought to its
23 attention earlier with reasonable diligence.” Id.
24

The Government argues that the Court’s order (Dkt. No. 43) contained manifest error

25 (Dkt. No. 45 at 2–4). Specifically, the Government alleges that it is entitled to a money judgment
26 against Defendant Matthew Migel, as provided by Washington Revised Code section

MINUTE ORDER, C16-1556-JCC

Finding good cause, the Court DIRECTS Mr. Migel to submit a response to Plaintiff’s

4 motion for reconsideration (Dkt. No. 45) on or before July 6, 2018. The response shall not
5 exceed four pages and shall be limited to the issue described above. Should Plaintiff wish to
6 submit a reply to Defendant’s response, Plaintiff shall do so on or before July 13, 2018. The
7 Clerk is DIRECTED to re-note Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration (Dkt. No. 45) for July 13,
8 2018.
