TicketOps Corporation v. Costco Wholesale Corporation

[4] 5 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON 6 AT SEATTLE [7] TICKETOPS CORPORATION, [8] Petitioner and Counter Respondent, [9] v. C21-931 TSZ [10] COSTCO WHOLESALE MINUTE ORDER CORPORATION, [11] Respondent and 12 Counter Petitioner. [13] The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable 14 Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge: (1) The motion for reconsideration, docket no. 65, filed by TicketOps [15] Corporation (“TicketOps”) is DENIED. A court will ordinarily deny motions for reconsideration “in the absence of a showing of manifest error in the prior ruling or a [16] showing of new facts or legal authority which could not have been brought to its attention earlier with reasonable diligence.” LCR 7(h)(1). TicketOps moves for reconsideration of [17] this Court’s order, docket no. 64, granting in part the motion for individual discovery filed by Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”), docket no. 49. TicketOps asks the [18] Court to amend its order to state explicitly that Costco must comply with procedures “required” to obtain discovery from Canadian third-parties. TicketOps also requests that [19] the Court modify its description of the documents it has authorized Costco to seek from Hugh Hall. TicketOps argues that it raised the issue of Canadian discovery procedures in [20] its response to Costco’s earlier motion for supplemental proceedings in aid of judgment, docket no. 30. TicketOps, however, has not explained why it failed to raise these [21] arguments in its response, docket no. 56, to Costco’s motion for individual discovery. Additionally, TicketOps has not shown manifest error in the Court’s prior order. See [22] 1 Snowden v. Connaught Labs., Inc., 138 F.R.D. 138 , 140–41 (D. Kan. 1991) (denying motion for reconsideration and requiring Canadian national to comply with discovery 2 previously ordered by the court). 3 (2) The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to all counsel of record.
