Petitioner’s motion for reconsideration, docket no. 75, is DENIED. The
Court denied Petitioner’s motion for sanctions, docket no. 68, in part because Petitioner
did not specify which state court records Respondent failed to file in this Court. See
Minute Order at ¶ 2 (docket no. 73). In his motion for reconsideration, docket no. 75,
Petitioner has clarified that he seeks sanctions because Respondent has failed to serve
him with a paper copy of the state court records contained in Exhibits 1–5 attached to the
Submission of Relevant State Court Record, docket nos. 25 and 25-1—despite the
certificate of service executed on December 18, 2020, showing that Respondent’s counsel
caused to be mailed to Petitioner a paper copy of the state court records at issue. See id.
at 5; see also June 21, 2021, Certificate of Service (docket no. 76). The Court upholds its
prior conclusion, and Judge Peterson’s conclusion, that Respondent’s submission of the
state court records, including those contained in docket nos. 25 and 25-1, complied with
the relevant procedural requirements. See Minute Order at ¶ 2 (docket no. 73); Order
(docket no. 58 at 4–6). Absent a showing of manifest error in the Court’s prior rulings,
see docket nos. 58 & 73, or new facts or legal authority that support Petitioner’s motion
for sanctions, docket no. 68, the Court denies the instant motion for reconsideration,
docket no. 75. See Local Civil Rule 7(h)(1).
