HUGH LAWSON, Senior Judge.
Before the Court is Plaintiff Adam Wade Crutchley's Motion for Reconsideration. (Doc. 48.) In his Motion, Plaintiff asks the Court to reconsider its Order adopting the recommendation of the Magistrate and denying Plaintiff's Motion for a Default Judgment. (Doc. 42.) For the reasons stated below, the Motion is denied.
In December 2010, Defendants were sent waiver of service forms, which they promptly signed and returned. (Docs. 24-27.) However, Defendants failed to file an Answer to the Complaint or a Pre-Answer Motion to Dismiss within the sixty day deadline. Thus, on March 16, 2011, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Default Judgment based on Defendants' failure to defend. (Doc. 30.) In response to the Motion for Default, Defendants filed a Motion to Open Default. (Doc. 34.) In their Motion, Defendants admitted that Defendants Heath and Carter discussed the case and each mistakenly believed that the other would assume responsibility for notifying the county attorney for Berrien County about the lawsuit. The county attorney was never notified of the lawsuit, and thus, the Complaint went unanswered.
In his Recommendation, Magistrate Judge Thomas Q. Langstaff acknowledged that Defendants were admittedly late in responding to the Complaint, but he noted that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c) provides that "[t]he court may set aside an entry of default for good cause." Magistrate Judge Langstaff found that there was good cause for setting aside the default. This Court adopted the Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Langstaff in an Order on November 7, 2011, and it is this Order that Plaintiff asks the Court to reconsider.
Local Rule 7.6 provides that "[m]otions for reconsideration shall not be filed as a matter of routine practice." M.D. Ga., L.R. 7.6. Instead, the "purpose of a motion for reconsideration is to correct the manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence."
In this case, Plaintiff does not show a change in the law, new evidence, or the need to correct clear error or manifest injustice. Instead, Plaintiff simply reiterates his same arguments from his original Motion for Default, which was denied by the Court. He states that Defendants did not file an answer in the appropriate amount of time, and thus, they should be considered in default.
