Case No. 1:24-cv-00126-SNLJ
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the plaintiff’s Motion for Relief from
Judgment and for Reconsideration, filed on January 22, 2025. [Doc. 24]. Plaintiff
contemporaneously filed a Notice of Appeal. [Doc. 26]. While the appeal was
pending, the defendants filed a motion requesting an indicative ruling on the
plaintiff’s post-judgment motion. [Doc. 41]. 	The Court granted the defendants’
motion and issued an Order under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 62.1, stating that
“if the Court of Appeals remands plaintiff’s case for the purpose of ruling on her
Motion for Relief from Judgment and for Reconsideration, this Court will deny the
motion.” [Doc. 47]. On January 22, 2026, the Court of Appeals ordered the appeal to
be held in abeyance until this Court resolved the post-judgment motion. [Doc. 56].
For the reasons articulated in this Court’s Order dated July 11, 2025 [Doc. 47], which
is incorporated herein by reference, the motion is denied.
