ORDER
GÓMEZ, C.J.
Before the Court is the motion of the plaintiff, Carol Liles
(“Liles”) for leave to file a motion for reconsideration of this
Court’s March 9, 2009, Order denying Liles’ motion for default
judgment against defendant Revetaw, Inc. (“Revetaw”) out of time.

her to compile the documents required to correct the defects in

her motion for default judgment.  However, a motion for
reconsideration is not to be used as “a vehicle for . . . raising
arguments that could have been raised before but were not." 
Bostic v. AT&T of the Virgin Islands, 312 F. Supp. 2d 731, 733,
45 V.I. 553 (D.V.I. 2004).  Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED that the motion for leave to file a motion for
reconsideration out of time is DENIED.1

1  While the Court finds no basis for granting Liles leave
to filed her reconsideration motion out of time, it notes that
nothing precludes Liles from filing anew her motion for default
judgment.
