PFIZER, INC. v. STRYKER CORPORATION (S.D.N.Y. 2005)

LEWIS KAPLAN, District Judge

A party making a motion for reconsideration "is not supposed to treat the court's initial decision as the opening of a dialogue in which that party may then use such a motion to advance new theories or adduce new evidence in response to the court's rulings," De Los Santos v. Fingerson, No. 97 Civ. 3972 (MBM), 2001 WL 788781, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 12, 1998), much less rehash arguments already made and rejected. That is just what defendants have done. Their motion for reconsideration is denied.

SO ORDERED.
