ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S EMERGENCY MOTION TO RECONSIDER THE
GRANTING OF THE MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER CONCERNING
ELEANOR GARCIA
THIS MATTER came before the Court upon Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion to
Reconsider the Granting of the Motion For Protective Order Concerning Eleanor Garcia
(Docket No. 213).  Defendant Government of the Virgin Islands filed an opposition thereto.
In view of the time-sensitive nature of the said motion, this order is issued without
necessity of reply.

Order Denying Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion to Reconsider
Page 2
Pursuant to Local Rule of Civil Procedure 7.4, parties may seek reconsideration of
an order issued by a judge or magistrate judge of this Court based upon “1. intervening
change in controlling law; 2. availability of new evidence, or; 3. the need to correct clear
error or prevent manifest injustice.”  LRCi 7.4.  It is widely recognized that the ”’purpose
of a motion for reconsideration is to correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present
newly discovered evidence.’‘ Snith v. City of Chester, 155 F.R.D. 95, 96 (E.D. Pa. 1994)
(citation omitted).
Plaintiff alleges that the Court erred by finding that Ms. Garcia had not been
properly served with a notice of deposition because he claims that the government agreed
to produce her.  However, the government, in its opposition, disputes such an agreement.
Having thus reviewed the submissions of the parties, nothing therein persuades the
Court that its previous order requires modification or reversal.  The Court finds that it did
not commit clear error nor will manifest injustice result to Plaintiff.  The Court further finds
that sanctions as requested by the government are not warranted.
Accordingly, it is now hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Emergency Motion to
Reconsider the Granting of the Motion For Protective Order Concerning Eleanor Garcia
(Docket No. 213) is DENIED.
