RE: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation, et al. v. Freedom Mortgage Corporation et al., C.A. No. 2020-0161-SG
Dear Counsel:
I have Plaintiffs’ motion for reargument. The Plaintiffs have moved for reargument of a scheduling order. A motion for reargument is appropriate in two circumstances: where the court has “overlooked a decision or principle of law that would have controlling effect or misapprehended the facts or the law so the outcome of the decision would be different.” RE: Kratos Def. & Sec. Sols., Inc., v. Securitas Elec. Sec., Inc., 2020 WL 1922000, at *1 (Del. Ch. Apr. 20, 2020) (quoting Pontone v. Milso Indus. Corp., 2014 WL 4352341, at *1 (Del. Ch. Sept. 13, 2014)). Neither of those circumstances is present here. Plaintiffs simply disagree with a matter within the court’s discretion. Coleman v. PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLC, 902 A.2d *2 1102, 1107 (Del. 2006) (“It is well settled that the trial court has discretion to resolve scheduling issues and to control its own docket.” (internal quotations omitted)). Therefore, to the extent I consider the Plaintiffs’ motion a motion for reargument it is denied.
I find it appropriate, however, to consider the Plaintiffs’ motion a motion for reconsideration of scheduling, I have directed my Assistant to contact the parties to schedule a teleconference promptly regarding moving this matter forward.
To the extent the foregoing requires an order to take effect, it is SO
ORDERED.
Sincerely,
/s/ Sam Glasscock III
