Mary DeGenaro Hon. Gene Donofrio Hon. Carol Ann Robb Dated: September 7, 2017 [Cite as Portage Roofing, Inc. v. Mike Coates, Constr. Co., Inc., 2017-Ohio-7560.] PER CURIAM. {¶1} Plaintiff-Appellant, Portage Roofing, Inc., filed an application for reconsideration of Portage Roofing, Inc. v. Coates Construction, Inc., 7th Dist. No. 15 MA 0175, 2017–Ohio–5710. {¶2} "The test generally applied upon the filing of a motion for reconsideration in the court of appeals is whether the motion calls to the attention of the court an obvious error in its decision, or raises an issue for consideration that was either not considered at all or was not fully considered by the court when it should have been." Columbus v. Hodge, 37 Ohio App.3d 68, 523 N.E.2d 515 (1987), paragraph one of the syllabus. {¶3} The purpose of reconsideration is not to reargue one's appeal based on dissatisfaction with the logic used and conclusions reached by an appellate court. Victory White Metal Co. v. N.P. Motel Syst. Inc., 7th Dist. No. 04 MA 0245, 2005– Ohio–3828, ¶ 2. "An application for reconsideration may not be filed simply on the basis that a party disagrees with the prior appellate court decision." Hampton v. Ahmed, 7th Dist. No. 02 BE 0066, 2005–Ohio–1766, ¶ 16 (internal citation omitted). {¶4} On reconsideration, Portage reiterates the same argument it made on direct appeal: that the jurisdictional priority rule precludes the Mahoning County court from exercising jurisdiction over Coates' claims. This is merely a disagreement with the decision reached by this Court. Portage does not call to our attention an obvious error in our opinon. {¶5} Portage's arguments regarding the jurisdictional priority rule were fully considered by this Court prior to ruling on the matter. The motion for reconsideration -2- does not call to the attention of this Court an obvious error. Accordingly, Portage's motion for reconsideration is denied. DeGenaro, J., concurs.
