7.4      Motions for reconsideration

1. Grounds - Generally, and without restricting the discretion of the court, motions for reconsideration which merely present the same issues ruled upon by the court shall not be granted. The movant shall not only demonstrate a palpable defect by which the court and the parties have been misled, but also show that a different disposition of the case must result from a correction thereof.
2. Response to motions for reconsideration - No answer to a motion for reconsideration will be allowed unless requested by the court, but a motion for reconsideration will ordinarily not be granted in the absence of such request. Any oral argument on a motion for reconsideration is reserved to the discretion of the court.
