McKenzie-Morris v. V.P. Records Retail Outlet, Inc.

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SHAUNA MCKENZIE-MORRIS, Plaintiff, -against- 22-CV-1138 (JGLC) V.P. RECORDS RETAIL OUTLET, INC., et al., ORDER Defendants.

JESSICA G. L. CLARKE, United States District Judge: The Court construes Plaintiff’s letter, ECF No. 244, as a motion for reconsideration of the Opinion at ECF No. 240. “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. Rather, the standard for granting a . . . motion for reconsideration is strict, and reconsideration will generally be denied unless the moving party can point to controlling decisions or data that the court overlooked.” Analytical Survs., Inc. v. Tonga Partners, L.P., 684 F.3d 36, 52 (2d Cir. 2012) (cleaned up)). Plaintiff has not pointed to any error in the Court’s decision. The Court specifically considered and rejected the argument that the two-year window to object for each statement includes the “revolving balance carried forward.” See ECF No. 244 at 1; see also ECF No. 240 at 14–16 (“Plaintiff cannot pursue claims based upon the balance that was carried forward in the royalty statements and for which her claims would otherwise be barred under the 2007

Recording Agreement Incontestability Clause.”). The Court also notes for Plaintiffs benefit that there is a Pro Se Law Clinic available to assist self-represented parties in civil cases. The Clinic may be able to provide advice in connection with this case. The Pro Se Law Clinic is run by a private organization called the City Bar Justice Center; it is not part of, or run by, the Court. The Court attaches the Clinic’s flyer to this Order, which provides more information about its services and how to contact the Clinic. Dated: October 18, 2024 New York, New York SO ORDERED.
