Yeager et al v. Fort Knox Security Products Doc. 181 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH GENERAL CHARLES E. “CHUCK” YEAGER (RET.), an individual, v. MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO ALTER OR AMEND JUDGMENT OR TO GRANT RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT FORT KNOX SECURITY PRODUCTS, INC., a Utah Corporation, Case No. 2:11-CV-91 TS Plaintiff, District Judge Ted Stewart Defendant. This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment or to Grant Relief from Judgment. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) provides that “[a] motion to alter or amend a judgment must be filed no later than 28 days after the entry of the judgment.” Rule 60(b) allows a party to seek relief from a final judgment because of mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect, or any other reason that justifies relief. “Grounds warranting a motion to reconsider include (1) an intervening change in the controlling law, (2) new evidence previously unavailable, and (3) the need to correct clear error or prevent manifest injustice.” 1 “Thus, a motion for reconsideration is appropriate where the court has misapprehended the facts, a party’s position, or the controlling law. It is not appropriate to revisit issues already addressed or advance arguments that could have been raised in prior briefing.” 2 1 Servants of Paraclete v. Does, 204 F.3d 1005, 1012 (10th Cir. 2000). 2 Id. (internal citation omitted). 1 Dockets.Justia.com The Court has reviewed parties’ arguments. Having reviewed those arguments, the Court will deny Plaintiff’s Motion. It is therefore ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion to Alter or Amend Judgment or to Grant Relief from Judgment (Docket No. 169) is DENIED. DATED this 25th day of November, 2015.
