ANN M. DONNELLY, District Judge.
The plaintiff brings this action pursuant to the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008, 29 U.S.C. § 1185a, alleging that the defendants discriminated against her by imposing arbitrary reimbursement penalties on psychologists and masters' level counselors who provide psychotherapy. On August 20, 2018, I issued a memorandum and order granting in part and denying in part the defendants' motion to dismiss the plaintiffs complaint. On September 4, 2018, the plaintiff moved for reconsideration, requesting that the Court strike footnote 6 of the August 20, 2018 opinion, which states in part that "the complaint alleges only that the reimbursement policy is a nonquantitative treatment limitation." Familiarity with the facts is assumed.
A motion for reconsideration may be granted when the moving party identifies "an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice." Virgin Atlantic Airways v. National Mediation Bd., 956 F.2d 1245, 1255 (2d Cir. 1992) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Under Local Civil Rule 6.3, the decision to grant or deny a motion for reconsideration "is within the sound discretion of the district court . . . and is an extraordinary remedy to be employed sparingly in the interests of finality and conservation of scarce judicial resources." Hernandez v. Doe, No. 16-CV-2375, 2016 WL 7391989, at *2 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 21, 2016) (citing Mangino v. Inc. Vill. of Patchogue, 814 F.Supp.2d 242, 247 (E.D.N.Y. 2011)). Generally, a motion for reconsideration will be "denied unless the moving party can point to controlling decisions or data that the court overlooked—matters, in other words, that might reasonably be expected to alter the conclusion reached by the court." Shrader v. CSX Transp., Inc., 70 F.3d 255, 257 (2d Cir. 1995). A motion for reconsideration is "not a vehicle for relitigating old issues, presenting the case under new theories, securing a rehearing on the merits, or otherwise taking a `second bite at the apple.' Analytical Surveys, Inc. v. Tonga Partners, L.P., 684 F.3d 36, 52 (2d Cir. 2012) (citation omitted).
The plaintiff argues that the complaint alleged that the defendants' reimbursement policy was also a quantitative treatment limitation and financial requirement, an argument she also made in her opposition to the defendants' motion to dismiss.

Accordingly, the plaintiff's motion for reconsideration is denied.
