DEFENDAN'I`S’ OPPOSITION TO MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Defendant respectfully submits that Plaintiffs’ Motion for Reconsideration (DJ
t23) of the Court’s Order dated July 31, 2008 (D.I. 122) should be denied because
Plaintiff has not presented any facts or points of law that were not previously considered
bythe Court. See T illmon v. Pepsi Bottling Group, Inc., 2008 WL 1987262, at *2 (D.
Del.) (stating, "[in]otions for reconsideration are the ‘functional equivalent’ of motions to
alter or amend judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e)” and "[a] motion
for reconsideration is not properly grounded on a request that a court rethink a decision
already znade”). See also Bacon v. Carroll, 2008 WL 2037753, at *l (D. Del.) (stating,
“{a]s a general rule, motions for reconsideration should be rarely granted” and denying
motion where plaintiff "fai1ed to addtice any evidence in support of his Motion for
Reconsideration that was not previously considered by the Court").
