Order on Motion for Reconsideration
ORDER denying 554 Plaintiffs' Motion to Reconsider the Court's Order Denying Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion to Continue Trial to September 9, 2024. Requests to alter or amend a judgment are evaluated under Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e). "As a general rule, motions for reconsideration should only be exceptionally granted." Villanueva-Mendez v. Nieves Vazquez, 360 F.Supp.2d 320, 323 (D.P.R. 2005). The Court should only grant such motions when "the original judgment evidenced a manifest error of law, if there is newly discovered evidence, or in certain other narrow situations." Global Naps, Inc. v. Verizon New England, Inc., 489 F.3d 13, 25 (1st Cir.2007). "A motion for reconsideration is not the venue to permit a party to advance arguments it should have developed prior to judgment, nor is it a mechanism to regurgitate old arguments previously considered and rejected." Biltcliffe v. CitiMortgage, Inc., 772 F.3d 925, 930 (1st Cir. 2014) (internal citations and quotations omitted). Plaintiffs raised no new arguments that persuade the Court to reconsider its decision at Docket No. 552. The Court reiterates that this case is over six (6) years old and has been ready for trial since July 2020. Rescheduling trial in this case would pose a great inconvenience and would be to the prejudice of the Court in its efforts to effectively manage its docket. The trial date suggested by Plaintiffs is unworkable given that the Court's Fall 2024 calendar is already occupied with trials and hearings set in other cases. Ultimately, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure require that all civil actions in the United States district courts be managed in a "just, speedy, and inexpensive" manner. See Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 1. Granting the requested continuance would only serve to further delay the resolution of this longstanding dispute. Absent the most exigent of circumstances, this case will proceed to trial on August 13, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. in Old San Juan Courthouse. Signed by Judge Gina R. Mendez-Miro on 5/20/2024. (GMN)
