Talenthub Worldwide, Inc. v. Talenthub Workforce, Inc. et al.

Background

On October 3, 2025, Plaintiff moved for reconsideration of the September 5, 2025 order dismissing the First Amended Complaint. The earlier order dismissed Plaintiff’s Computer Fraud and Abuse Act claim as time-barred. It also directed Plaintiff to file any motion seeking permission to replead its Defend Trade Secrets Act claim by October 3, 2025. Plaintiff did not file that motion.

Arguments and Analysis

The court described reconsideration under Local Civil Rule 6.3 as a narrow remedy. It is generally not available to present new arguments, relitigate issues, or raise matters that could have been presented before the earlier decision.

Plaintiff argued that its counsel’s July 11, 2022 letter referred only to Plaintiff’s cloud-computing systems, rather than two pieces of computer equipment—a server and a desktop—that Plaintiff later alleged had been damaged. The court rejected that argument because Plaintiff’s earlier opposition to the motion to dismiss had described the letter as raising possible claims concerning the same computers involved in the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act claims. The September 5 order had considered and rejected that argument. The court therefore found that Plaintiff’s new interpretation was not a proper basis for reconsideration.

Ruling

Judge Lorna G. Schofield ordered that Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration is DENIED. The Clerk of Court was directed to close the case. The opinion also states that Plaintiff represented that its deadline to seek permission to replead had expired and that all claims had been dismissed with prejudice; the October 24 order itself rules on the reconsideration motion and directs the case to be closed.
