LESLIE ROSALEE SMITH,
Plaintiff,
v.
ALLISON HALEY, et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 23-cv-02043-HSG
ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO
REOPEN ACTION AND
CONSOLIDATE WITH OTHER CASES
Re: Dkt. No. 12
Plaintiff filed this action on or about April 28, 2023. Dkt. No. 1. On July 10, 2023, the
Court dismissed this action with prejudice in a reasoned order, finding that Plaintiff had failed to
state a claim for relief. Dkt. No. 8. The Court entered judgment in favor of Defendants and
against Plaintiff that same day. Dkt. No. 9. Two and a half years later, Plaintiff has filed a request
to reopen this action. Dkt. No. 12. She also requests to reopen five other cases, and requests that
all six cases be consolidated. Id.
The Court DENIES the request to reopen. This case is closed. To the extent that Plaintiff
is seeking reconsideration of the Court’s dismissal of her claims with prejudice, generally
speaking, such reconsideration requests must be filed no more than a year after the entry of the
judgment or the order being challenged. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(c). Plaintiff’s request for
reconsideration appears to be untimely, and she has offered no reason why the Court erred in
dismissing this action. The Court DENIES as moot the request to consolidate the cases.
