US District Court Southern District of Florida (Miami) - United States ...

Case 1:09-cv-22905-JAL Document 11 Entered on FLSD Docket 12/01/2009 Page 2 of 2
(quoting Wright v. Preferred Research, Inc., 891 F.2d 886, 889 (11th Cir. 1990)). “However,
Rule 59(e) cannot be used ‘to relitigate old matters, raise argument or present evidence that
could have been raised prior to the entry of judgment.’” Id. (quoting Michael Linet, Inc. v.
Village of Wellington, Fla., 408 F.3d 757, 763 (11th Cir. 2005). “By way of contrast, ‘the
purpose of a Rule 60(b) motion is to permit the trial judge to reconsider matters so that he
can correct obvious errors or injustices and so perhaps obviate the laborious process of
appeal.’” Id. (quoting Carter v. United States, 780 F.2d 925, 928 (11th Cir. 1986)).
Plaintiff’s Motion simply restates his prior arguments and does not present any other grounds
for relief. Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff’s Motion for
Reconsideration is DENIED.
2009.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers at Miami, Florida this 1st day of December,
