ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION
Presently before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration [Doc. 8] of the
Court’s Order [Doc. 4] dismissing Plaintiff’s case without prejudice because he failed to
respond to the Court’s order to file a signed complaint. After the case was dismissed,
Plaintiff filed three affidavits and a motion for reconsideration but did not sign and refile
his complaint.
“[R]econsideration of a previous order is an extraordinary remedy to be employed
sparingly.”1 This Court's Local Rule 7.6 provides that motions for reconsideration should
not be filed as a matter of routine practice, but only when “absolutely necessary.”
Reconsideration is appropriate “only if the movant demonstrates [1] that there has been
an intervening change in the law, [2] that new evidence has been discovered which was
1 Groover v. Michelin North America, Inc., 90 F. Supp. 2d 1236, 1256 (M.D. Ala. 2000).

not previously available to the parties in the exercise of due diligence, or [3] that the court
made a clear error of law.”2 However, “[a] motion for reconsideration does not provide
an opportunity to simply reargue the issue the Court has once determined.”3
Plaintiff’s filings are almost illegible and present no discernable basis for this Court
to reconsider its previous Order. Accordingly, the Court hereby DENIES Plaintiff’s
Motion [Doc. 8].
SO ORDERED, this 28th day of August, 2026.
