ORDER
CATHY BISSOON, District Judge.
Plaintiff has filed a Motion for Reconsideration of this Court's June 10, 2015, Memorandum and Order (Doc. 45) granting summary judgement in favor of Defendant.1 Plaintiff also seeks an opportunity to engage in oral argument on the matter. For the reasons stated herein, Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration will be denied.
A proper motion for reconsideration "must rely on one of three grounds: (1) an intervening change in controlling law; (2) the availability of new evidence; or (3) the need to correct clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice." Lazaridis v. Wehmer, 591 F.3d 666, 669 (3d Cir. 2010) (citing N. River Ins. Co. v. CIGNA Reinsurance Co., 52 F.3d 1194, 1218 (3d Cir. 1995)). Plaintiff has not identified any intervening change in controlling law or any new evidence, nor has he demonstrated a need to correct a clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice.
Plaintiff does correctly point out that the Court declined to discuss his argument that he was placed on desk duty, allegedly in violation of "AR5-2." The fact that Plaintiff was placed on desk duty during his training period, perhaps in violation of proper practice, does not alter the Court's decision, as the record reflects that said action was taken in order to limit the damage Plaintiff would cause.
Plaintiff does not argue that there has been an intervening change in controlling law, or that there is newly available evidence. See Lazaridis, 591 F.3d at 669. Rather, Plaintiff disagrees with the Court's interpretation and application of the law, and with our findings of fact. He has not, however, established that the Court committed a clear error of law or that reconsideration is necessary to prevent manifest injustice. Id. Accordingly, there is no basis for reconsideration, and Plaintiff's motion is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
