ELIZABETH D. LAPORTE
ORDER REGARDING MOTION FOR
RECONSIDERATION
On September 7, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration of this Court's statement at the hearing on September 4, 2012 that it would grant Defendant Frito-Lay's Motion to Transfer. This motion is in violation of Local Rule 7-9, which provides that "[n]o party may notice a motion for reconsideration without first obtaining leave of Court to file the motion" and sets forth the proper procedure for seeking leave to file a motion for reconsideration. Therefore, Plaintiff's motion is stricken without prejudice to refiling if Plaintiff receives leave of Court after complying with the rule. Defendants need not respond to this motion and the hearing noticed for October 16, 2012 is vacated. Rather, the Court is issuing a written order setting forth its reasoning. Plaintiff must comply with Local Rule 7-9 and properly seek leave to file a motion for reconsideration before the Court will consider any such request.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
