Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA

Brock Fredin, Case No. 19-cv-3068 (SRN/HB) Plaintiff, ORDER v. Halberg Criminal Defense, Christina Zauhar, Defendants.

Brock Fredin, 1180 7th Ave., Baldwin, WI 54002, pro se.

Barry O’Neil, Lommen Abdo, PA, 1000 International Centre, 920 Second Avenue S., Minneapolis, MN 55402, for Defendants.

SUSAN RICHARD NELSON, United States District Judge This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Brock Fredin’s Letter Request [Doc. No. 52], seeking leave to file a motion for reconsideration. Fredin asks the Court to reconsider its May 27, 2020 Order [Doc. No. 50], in which the Court granted Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, and denied Plaintiff’s Motion to Amend.

Local Rule 7.1(j) of this Court requires a party seeking reconsideration to first obtain permission to file such a motion. D. Minn. L.R. 7.1(j). A party may receive permission only by showing “compelling circumstances.” Id. Motions for reconsideration serve the limited purpose of “correct[ing] manifest errors of law or fact or . . . present[ing] newly discovered evidence.” Hagerman v. Yukon Energy Corp., 839 F.2d 407, 414 (8th Cir. 1988) (quoting Rothwell Cotton Co. v. Rosenthal & Co., 827 F.2d 246, 251 (7th Cir. 1987)).

Plaintiff has not established “compelling circumstances” necessary to obtain leave to file a motion for reconsideration. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Letter Request [Doc. No. 52] seeking leave to file a motion for reconsideration is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.
