Martens v. Smith Barney Inc.
Opinion of the Court
SUMMARY ORDER
UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that the judgment of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Koeltl, J.), dated December 12, 2003, is AFFIRMED.
Claimant-appellant Phyllis Jamison (“Jamison” or “appellant”), pro se, appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, denying her motion for reconsideration of the district court’s prior order denying Jamison’s motions to reopen her settlement agreement, extend a filing deadline and conduct discovery in connection with these motions. We assume the parties’ familiarity with the facts, legal claims and arguments on appeal.
This Court reviews a district court’s denial of a motion for reconsideration for abuse of discretion. See Cody, Inc. v. Town of Woodbury, 179 F.3d 52, 56 (2d Cir. 1999). On appeal, appellant fails to identify any arguments, controlling decisions or facts not adequately addressed by the district court in its original opinion which would have permitted the court to reach a different conclusion on reconsideration. See Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995) (“The standard for granting such a motion is strict,
Accordingly, for the reasons stated by the district court, we AFFIRM the order of the district court.
