Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT MYERS DIVISION
RICHARD WEAN,
Plaintiff,
v. Case No.: 2:23-cv-302-SPC-NPM
MELINDA MASTERS, YEN LE JON P. CARNER, and JARAD ANDERSON,
Defendants. / OPINION AND ORDER Before the Court are three “Motion[s] of Clarification” filed by Plaintiff Richard Wean (Docs. 83, 84, and 85). The motions relate to three motions for injunctive relief the Court denied on March 28, 2025. (See Doc. 78). The Court construes the motions for clarification as requests for reconsideration because they ask the Court to grant the motions it denied in the prior order. Reconsideration of a prior order is an extraordinary measure that should be applied sparingly. Adams v. Beoneman, 335 F.R.D. 452, 454 (M.D. Fla. 2020). Court orders are not intended as first drafts subject to revisions at a litigant’s pleasure, so a movant must establish extraordinary circumstances supporting reconsideration. Gold Cross EMS, Inc. v. Children’s Hosp. of Ala., 108 F. Supp. 3d 1376, 1384 (S.D. Ga. 2015). “A motion for reconsideration should raise new issues, not merely readdress issues previously litigated.” PaineWebber Income Props. v. Mobil Oil Corp., 902 F. Supp. 1514, 1521 (M.D. Fla. 1995). Wean presents extraordinary circumstances to warrant reconsideration of the Court’s prior order. Rather, he seeks to relitigate issues the Court already decided. Accordingly, Wean’s construes motions for reconsideration (Docs. 83, 84, and 85) are DENIED. DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on April 24, 2025.
