Bolton v. GEICO General Insurance Company

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION

KATINA BOLTON,

Plaintiff,

v. Case No: 6:22-cv-1206-RBD-LHP

GEICO GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY,

Defendant

ORDER This cause came on for consideration without oral argument on the following motion filed herein: MOTION: PLAINTIFF AND DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF THEIR MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO DISCLOSE EXPERT WITNESSES (Doc. No. 28) FILED: February 9, 2023

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is DENIED. On February 1, 2023, Plaintiff filed an unopposed motion seeking extensions of the parties’ expert disclosure deadlines. Doc. No. 24. Upon consideration, the Court denied that motion without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 3.01(a) and for failure to state good cause. Doc. No. 25. Now, rather than filing a renewed motion, Plaintiff seeks reconsideration of

that Order. Doc. No. 28. On review, however, the motion for reconsideration also fails to comply with Local Rule 3.01(a) because it does not include a memorandum of legal authority in support. Nor does the motion set forth a basis for reconsideration. See generally Stallworth v. Omninet Village, L.P., No. 6:16-cv-546-

Orl-31DAB, 2016 WL 10100424, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 23, 2016) (“Motions for reconsideration are permitted when there is (1) an intervening change in controlling law; (2) newly discovered evidence; or (3) the need to correct clear error or manifest

injustice.” (citing Tristar Lodging, Inc. v. Arch Speciality Ins. Co., 434 F. Supp. 2d 1286, 1301 (M.D. Fla. 2006), aff’d, 215 F. App’x 879 (11th Cir. 2007))). Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration (Doc. No. 28) is DENIED. However, nothing in this Order precludes the parties from renewing the motion for

an extension of the expert disclosure deadlines, if such request is made in full compliance with the Local Rules and the requirements of the Case Management and Scheduling Order. See Local Rule 3.01(a); Doc. No. 19, at 10 § (III)(F)(3). See also

Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on February 10, 2023.
