29 29 order Order(Other) Tue 09/20 1:42 PM
ORDER re28 Letter. This letter is construed as a second motion for reconsideration of this Court's Memorandum Decision and Order of August 29, 2016. The standard for granting [a reconsideration motion] 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. Shrader v. CSX Transp. Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995). It is well-settled that [a motion for reconsideration] is not a vehicle for relitigating old issues, presenting the case under new theories, securing a rehearing on the merits, or otherwise taking a second bite at the apple. Analytical Surveys, 684 F.3d at 52 (quotation marks omitted); see also Wallace v. Brown, 485 F. Supp. 77, 78 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 9, 1979). Further, [a] party seeking reconsideration may... no [t] advance new facts, issues or arguments not previously presented to the Court. In re Facebook, Inc., IPO Sec. & Derivative Litig., 43 F. Supp. 3d 369, 373 (S.D.N.Y. 2014) (quotations and citation omitted). Plaintiff's motion does not meet this standard. First, plaintiff's argument was not raised previously and could have been. Second, the 2004 document on which he relies would still put him outside of the statute of limitations. His motion is therefore denied. So Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 9/17/2016. (c/m) (Lee, Tiffeny)

6 6 order Order on Motion for Pre Motion Conference Wed 04/13 3:00 PM
The premotion conference is waived and defendant may file its motion. However, this letter suggests to the Court that some of defendant's arguments may require evidence extrinsic to the face of the complaint, and thus not be appropriate at this stage of the case. Since it appears that defendant recognizes that at least part of the complaint will require discovery, it should carefully consider whether to engage in targeted discovery and then move for summary judgment on the entire complaint rather than making a piecemeal motion now.
