Wells v. Miller

USDC SDNY DOCUMENT UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT ELECTRONICALLY FILED SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK DOC #: Sonnac nnnnns IK DATE FILED:_04/19/2023 CARL D. WELLS, : Petitioner, : : 21-cv-11231 (LJL) -v- : : ORDER SUPT MARK MILLER, : Respondent. : we KX LEWIS J. LIMAN, United States District Judge: Petition Carl D. Wells (“Petitioner”) submits the attached letter. The Court interprets the letter as a motion to strike the letter of David Bernstein, Dkt. No. 79-1, and as a motion for reconsideration of the Court’s March 27, 2023 Opinion and Order dismissing Petitioner’s petition without prejudice, Dkt. No. 81. The motions are denied.

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(f) gives a court the power to strike “redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter” from pleadings, Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f), defined by Rule 7 as complaints, cross- and counterclaims, answers, and replies to answers, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(a). Because Petitioner’s motion to strike is not directed at the pleadings, his motion is DENIED. See Granger v. Gill Abstract Corp., 566 F. Supp. 2d 323, 334 (S.D.N.Y. 2008) (adopting recommendation that the court deny a motion to strike because “[m]otions, declarations and affidavits are not pleadings” that can be stricken under Rule 12(f)).

“A motion for reconsideration should be granted only if the movant identifies ‘an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice.’” Spin Master Ltd. v. 158, 2020 WL 5350541, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 4, 2020) (quoting Kolel Beth Yechiel Mechil of Tartikov, Inc. v. YLL Irrevocable Tr., 729 F.3d 99, 104 (2d Cir. 2013)). “The standard for granting a motion for reconsideration ‘is strict, and reconsideration will generally be denied unless the moving party can point to controlling decisions or data that the court overlooked—matters, in other words, that might reasonably be expected to alter the conclusion reached by the Court.’” Justice v. City of New York, 2015 WL 4523154, at *1 (E.D.N.Y. July 27, 2015) (quoting Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995)). Because Petitioner has not identified any controlling decisions or data that the Court overlooked, his motion for reconsideration is DENIED.
