23 B 05875, 23 A 00130
Debtors/Plaintiffs moved under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) (made applicable by Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7054(a)) for the court to reconsider its order denying their motion for summary judgment as to Plaintiff Julia Salameh. Plaintiffs argued the court had not sufficiently considered their arguments. HELD: Motion denied. Motions to reconsider brought under Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) are largely treated the same as motions brought under Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). Motions to reconsider are limited to correcting manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence. Plaintiffs did not claim to present new evidence and showed no manifest error of law or fact in the court’s consideration of their prior arguments.
