At Wilmington this 4
The plaintiff, DeShawn Drurngo moves for reconsideration of the Court's March 11, 2014 order wherein the court denied his motion to amend and motion to withdraw attorney. (See D.L 145.) The purpose of a motion for reconsideration is to "correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence." Max's Seafood Cafe ex rel. Lou-Ann, Inc. v. Quinteros, 176 F.3d 669, 677 (3d Cir. 1999). "A proper Rule 59(e) motion ... 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 a clear error of law or fact or to prevent manifest injustice. Lazaridis v. Wehmer, 591 F.3d 666, 669 (3d Cir. 2010) (citing North River Ins. Co. v. CIGNA Reinsurance Co., 52 F.3d 1194, 1218 (3d Cir. 1995). A motion for reconsideration is not properly grounded on a request that a court rethink a decision already made. See Glendon Energy Co. v. Borough ofGlendon, 836 F.Supp. 1109, 1122 (E.D. Pa. 1993).
The court denied Drumgo's motion to withdraw attorney on the grounds that it was not timely filed. Drumgo has presented evidence that he sought withdrawal of counsel in a timely manner. Therefore, the court will vacate that portion of the order that denied the motion to withdraw and will grant the motion to withdraw.
With regard to the motion to amend, the court finds that Drumgo has failed to demonstrate any of the necessary grounds to warrant reconsideration of that portion of the order that denied the motion to amend.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. The plaintiffs motion for reconsideration (D.I. 146) is
2. That portion ofthe March 11,2011 order (D.I. 145) denying the motion to withdraw attorney is
