JOAN M. AZRACK, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff Patoma Partners LLC ("Patoma") filed a motion, under Local Rule 6.3, for reconsideration of my August 15, 2014 Order ("August 15 Order"). For the reasons stated below, that motion is denied.
"A motion for reconsideration is an extraordinary remedy to be employed sparingly in the interests of finality and conservation of scarce judicial resources. . . ."
As a threshold matter, the Court finds that denial of Patoma's motion is warranted because Patoma never mentioned the possibility of a reconsideration motion at the August 19, 2014 auction and did not seek to adjourn the auction in anticipation of filing such a motion. In light of this, the Court declines to exercise its discretion in favor of Patoma's request for reconsideration. Given Patoma's silence regarding reconsideration prior to the auction, denial of the instant motion would not result in a manifest injustice. Moreover, even if Patoma's failure to raise the issue of reconsideration at the August 19, 2014 auction did not warrant denial of the instant motion, Patoma's motion fails on other grounds.
First, Patoma contends that the Court overlooked Patoma's "prodigious work" concerning the Ground Leases. (Pls.' Mem. in Supp. of Motion for Reargument and Reconsideration ("Pl.'s Mem.") at 2, ECF No. 35.) Patoma is mistaken. In issuing the August 15, 2014 Order, the Court was well aware of Patoma's efforts and fully considered them. The fact that the August 15, 2014 Order summarized those efforts, (August 15 Order at 6), does not mean that the Court overlooked them. Patoma's arguments on this point ignore the fatal flaw in its position. As discussed in the August 15, 2014 Order, Patoma erroneously assumes that the fair market value of the services it provided concerning the Ground Leases is necessarily equal to the entire fair market value of the Ground Leases. Patoma, however, has never provided any persuasive evidence in support of this absurd proposition.
Second, Patoma notes that a party may testify to the value of its own services or property. (Pl.'s Mem. at 4-5 n. 2, 7.) While that is a correct statement of the law, this point does not alter the Court's conclusion. Paul Henry's declaration asserted that Patoma "solely created and contributed [the Ground Leases] to the venture," and then simply assumed that Patoma should be credited with the entire sales price of the Ground Leases' entire market value. (Decl. of Paul Henry ("Henry Decl.") ¶¶ 35-37, ECF No. 21.) This is not testimony about the fair market value of the services and personal guarantees provided by Patoma.
Third, in addition to reasserting its claim that it should be credited with the entire sales price of the Ground Leases, Patoma also asks, in the alternative, for a hearing concerning the value of its contributions. This request is denied. Patoma did not previously request a hearing; nor did it argue that the Court should credit it with anything less than the entire sales price of the Ground Leases. Patoma's failure to raise these arguments warrants denial of reconsideration on this issue—particularly given that the parties sought an expedited determination from the Court regarding distributions from the LLCs. In such circumstances, the requirement that parties raise all relevant arguments in their initial submissions is critical. Moreover, the Court fails to see what a hearing would accomplish. The Court has already rejected Patoma's argument that it should be credited with the entire sales price of the Ground Leases and Patoma does not even suggest an alternative valuation for its contributions.
For the reasons stated above, Patoma's motion for reconsideration is denied. In addition, defendants request fees and costs they incurred in opposing the motion for reconsideration. That request is denied.
SO ORDERED.
