On May 19, 2017, the Court granted in part and denied in part Plaintiff LHF Productions,

17

Inc.’s (“LHF”) motion for extension of time to serve its Amended Complaint. Dkt. #14. In its

18

Order, the Court granted LHF a 30-day extension. Id. at 4. LHF, unsatisfied with the amount of

19
20
21

time the Court granted, asks the Court to reconsider its Order. See Dkt. #14 at 1-4. The Court
remains unpersuaded by LHF.

22

As stated in Local Civil Rule 7(h)(1), “[m]otions for reconsideration are disfavored.”

23

Consequently, the Court will “ordinarily deny such motions in the absence of a showing of

24
25
26

manifest error in the prior ruling or a showing of new facts or legal authority which could not have
been brought to [the Court’s] attention earlier with reasonable diligence.” LCR 7(h)(1). LHF fails

27

to address this standard. Instead of showing a manifest error in the Court’s Order, or directing the

28

Court to new facts or legal authority which could not have been brought to the Court’s attention

earlier, LHF simply concludes the Court “overlooked or misapprehended certain important

2

matters,” then outlines five reasons explaining why it disagrees with the Court’s Order. Dkt. #14

3

at 1-4. LHF’s motion, aside from failing to meet the LCR 7(h)(1) standard, fails to persuade the

4

Court. LHF’s motion for reconsideration (Dkt. #15) is accordingly DENIED.
