based upon mistake and inadvertence regarding their purported failure to file an objection under Rule 9033(b). Kingsvision Pay–Per–View Ltd. v. Lake Alice Bar, 168 F.3d 347, 350 (9th Cir. 1999) [F.R.Civ.P 60(b)(1) applies to mistake and inadvertence by the Court.] C. If the Elkwood Parties’ Prior Objections to the Proposed Judgment and the Proposed Findings and Conclusions Are Not Deemed to Have Satisfied Rule 9033(b), the Elkwood Parties Request Relief from the December 10, 2019 Rulings To extent that it is now determined that Rule 9033(b) was not previously satisfied by the Elkwood Parties’ opposition to the proposed Judgment and FF&CL, even though they were worded exactly as recommended to this Court, the Elkwood Parties request relief from the December 10 Rulings based upon the “excusable neglect” of their counsel under Rule 60(b)(1) and based upon Rule 60(b)(6), which provides for relief based upon “any other reason that justifies relief,” as well as relief under Rule 59(e) on the same grounds. The Elkwood Parties’ opposition to the form of the proposed Judgment and FF&CL certainly appeared to satisfy Rule 9033(b), and the Elkwood Parties’ counsel was working diligently to present the Objection Motion by which the Elkwood Parties intended to seek de novo review before this Court, when the Court entered its December 10 Rulings. / / / / Case 2:19-cv-09915-JFW Document 14 Filed 01/06/20 Page 16 of 26 Page ID #:267 H IL L, F A R R ER & B U R R IL L LL P A LI M IT ED L IA BI LI TY P AR TN ER SH IP AT TO R N EY S AT L AW O N E C AL IF O R N IA P LA ZA , 3 7T H F LO O R 30 0 SO U TH G R AN D A VE N U E LO S AN G EL ES , C AL IF O R N IA 9 00 71 -3 14 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 11 III.

24 A Rule 59(e) motion for reconsideration “is not the proper vehicle for rehashing evidence, legal theories, or arguments that could have been offered or raised before the entry of judgment.”25 Therefore, to succeed on a Rule 59(e) motion, a party must “clearly establish either [1] a manifest error of law or fact or [2] must present newly discovered evidence.”26 As demonstrated below, Plaintiff fails to, and cannot, establish either of these requisite prongs, and, as such, this Honorable Court should deny her Motion for Reconsideration. B. PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FAILS TO PUT FORTH ANY REASON WARRANTING THIS COURT’S RECONSIDERATION OF ITS NOVEMBER 13 JUDGMENT. Plaintiff’s entire motion is based on self-serving and, in part, a deficient affidavit and documents and information that she admits were previously available and known to her and that “[she] did not previously submit” or rely upon.27 Plaintiff now belatedly submits this evidence and argues that she had not previously submitted or relied upon same in support of her claims because, she contends, Delta “waived any objections to the timeliness of Ms. Stevenson’s EEOC complaint by appearing, answering, transferring venue and participating in discover

As to Rule 59(e), it does not apply here because that rule addresses “motion[s] to alter or amend a judgment.” See F.R.C.P. 59(e). No judgment has been entered on infringement of the ’150 patent, or on any other issue in the case.

Plaintiffs also move the Court for leave to file the SAC under Rule 15. Plaintiffs, however, did not request leave to amend their Complaint prior to entry of the Court’s Order, and therefore they can revive their claims only by satisfying Rule 59(e). For the reasons stated above, they cannot satisfy that Rule’s standard.

If it does so, it should hold the ’262 Patent claims ineligible. See supra § I.A. If, however, the Court does not reverse the eligibility order, then it must order a new trial on infringement under Rule 59 (or decide that issue for CAS as a matter of law) based on the interpretation of “regulate” applied in the eligibility decision—i.e., that it requires “monitoring” activity, such as “respon[ding] to characteristics of the used washing liquid” (Dkt. 293 at 18-19).

CONCLUSION WHEREFORE, Defendants respectfully request this Honorable Court grant their motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 50(b) because Case: 1:04-cv-07423 Document #: 672 Filed: 12/03/13 Page 58 of 60 PageID #:9175 52 Plaintiff failed to provide sufficient evidence to support the verdict. In addition, Defendants request that this Court grant their motion for a new trial pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59 for each of the foregoing reasons and because the cumulative impact of all trial irregularities made the trial unfair to Defendants.

This amendment precludes any possible finding of “claim splitting” that renders one or both actions duplicative. To the extent that the Court has held, or would hold, that the mere representation of different parties by the same counsel somehow renders one or both actions duplicative, the Court has committed a manifest error of law subject to correction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e). Case 1:11-cv-01142-ABJ Document 75 Filed 09/10/12 Page 19 of 20 14 Defendants have not cited, and the undersigned are unaware, of any decision from any court in any jurisdiction holding that a later-filed action filed by a “Plaintiff B” can be dismissed as “duplicative” of a substantively similar action filed by a “Plaintiff A” if they are represented by the same counsel.

(Pl. Mot.) Because Plaintiffs have failed to timely file their motion and have otherwise confirmed the basis for this Court’s dismissal of their claims, Plaintiffs’ motion, to the extent it relies on Rule 59 to reinstate their case, must be denied.
