Nature of the Filing

The supplied text is titled a motion for reconsideration and request for findings of fact and conclusions of law. Carmine P. Amelio identifies himself as the debtor and as proceeding without a lawyer. He asks the court to reconsider a May 18, 2020 order that, according to the filing, denied his request to participate in electronic filing in the three listed matters.

Arguments Presented

Amelio argues that written findings of fact and conclusions of law are required in actions tried without a jury. He cites Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 52(a)(1) and discusses the requirement that factual findings be stated separately from legal conclusions. The filing also states that Amelio intends to seek a stay pending appeal and cites Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 8, which generally requires a party to first seek a stay or related relief in the district court.

Disposition

The supplied material contains Amelio’s request but does not contain an order deciding it. Accordingly, no ruling on the motion for reconsideration, and no ruling on the request for findings, can be reported from this text.
