Yomi v. Carlos del Toro

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE FRANCIS WOUKOP YOMI, CASE NO. C23-5199-KKE Plaintiff(s), ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S v. MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION CARLOS DEL TORO, et al., Defendant(s).

Plaintiff requests that the Court reconsider its order granting Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. Dkt. No. 96. Although Plaintiff disagrees with the Court’s conclusions, he has failed to identify a manifest error or new facts or evidence that were not brought to the Court’s attention earlier. See id. “A motion for reconsideration should not be used to ask a court to rethink what the court had already thought through—rightly or wrongly.” Nelson v. Thurston County, No. C18-5184 RBL, 2019 WL 1489134, at *1 (W.D. Wash. Apr. 3, 2019) (citing Defenders of Wildlife v. Browner, 909 F. Supp. 1342, 1351 (D. Ariz. 1995)).

Because Plaintiff’s motion fails to establish that reconsideration is warranted, the Court DENIES Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration. See Local Rules W.D. Wash. LCR 7(h)(1) (“Motions for reconsideration are disfavored. The court will ordinarily deny such motions in the absence of a showing of manifest error in the prior ruling or a showing of new facts or legal authority which could not have been brought to its attention earlier with reasonable diligence.”).
