The Court will construe this objection as a motion to reconsider the Court's denial of Plaintiffs' motion for new trial. See Docs. ##65, 66, 67. This case has been dismissed. See Doc. #63. Judgment has been entered. See Doc. #64. Plaintiffs have asked the Court to reconsider this decision (Doc. #65) and the Court has denied their request (Doc. #67). In effect, Plaintiffs now ask the Court to reconsider its denial of their motion for reconsideration. Motions for reconsideration are disfavored and are not the place for parties to make new arguments not raised in their original briefs. See Northwest Acceptance Corp. v. Lynnwood Equip., Inc., 841 F.2d 918, 925-26 (9th Cir. 1988). Nor should motions for reconsideration ask the Court to rethink what it has already thought. See United States v. Rezzonico, 32 F.Supp.2d 1112, 1116 (D. Ariz. 1998). The Court understands that Plaintiffs disagree with its prior rulings, but repeated requests for reconsideration should not be filed. Plaintiffs assert a variety of new facts in

their most recent filing ­ a filing that generally is difficult for the Court to follow ­ but the Court is not persuaded that these facts warrant reconsideration or were unavailable at the time of Plaintiffs' previous filings. Thus, to the extent Plaintiffs' most recent objection is deemed a motion for reconsideration, it will be denied. IT IS ORDERED: 1. Plaintiffs' Objection of Court Order Denying New Trial and Change of Venue

(Doc. #68) is denied. DATED this 6th day of July, 2005.
