Order Denying Motion for Reconsideration

Plaintiff Donyall White-Bey seeks reconsideration of the Court's Entry dismissing his amended complaint and directing final judgment. "Motions to reconsider serve a limited function, to be used 'where the Court has patently misunderstood a party, or has made a decision outside the adversarial issues presented to the Court by the parties, or has made an error not of reasoning but of apprehension."" Davis v. Carmel Clay Schs.,286 F.R.D. 411, 412 (S.D. Ind. 2012) (quoting Bank of Waunakee v. Rochester Cheese Sales, Inc., 906 F.2d 1185, 1191 (7th Cir. 1990)) (additional quotations omitted). A court may grant a motion to reconsider where a movant demonstrates a manifest error of law or fact; however, a motion to reconsider is not an occasion to make new arguments. Jn re Prince, 85 F.3d 314, 324 (7th Cir. 1996); Granite St. Ins. Co. v. Degerlia, 925 F.2d 189, 192 n.7 (7th Cir. 1991). While Mr. White-Bey disagrees with the Court's ruling in that Entry, he does not show that the Court committed any manifest error in its ruling. Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration, dkt. [30], is denied.

SO ORDERED.
