DISCUSSION In this Motion, Defendants have attempted to assert, for the first time, that a party is necessary to this action. Plaintiff s position is neither timely raised nor accurate. Bell vs. Fisher, 2012 Del. Super. LEXIS 241. Plaintiff s arguments concerning the merits of the case present nothing which was factual matter, was misapprehended or misapplied. Hence, Defendants various arguments on these asserted bases are without merit. Friends of Paladin vs. New Castle County Bd. Of Adjustment, 2006 Del. Super. LEXIS 434. Finally, given the filing date of the Court s opinion on October 22, 2013, Defendants had, pursuant to Civil Rule 59(e), the time frame of 10-23, 10-24, 1025, 10-28, and 10-29 within which to file any Motion for Reargument.
