Case
Poorsina v. Peak Forclosure Services, Inc · No. 3:20-cv-08282
Judge
William Orrick
Date
Mar. 1, 2021

Background

On January 29, 2021, the court granted Peak Foreclosure Services, Inc.’s motion to dismiss pro se plaintiff Ali Poorsina’s complaint with prejudice. Judgment was entered, and the case was closed.

On February 11, 2021, Poorsina filed another opposition to Peak’s motion to dismiss. The filing repeated arguments addressed and rejected in the January 29 order.

Ruling

The court considered whether Poorsina’s filing could be treated as a motion for reconsideration. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e), reconsideration may be appropriate based on newly discovered evidence, clear error or a manifestly unjust decision, or an intervening change in controlling law. The court found that none of those circumstances existed and denied the motion for reconsideration. The court stated that Poorsina’s case was closed.
