Summary

The United States District Court for the District of Oregon denied Christopher W. Castle’s motion for reconsideration of the order granting summary judgment to St. Charles Health System, Inc. The court held that the motion was untimely under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(c)(1) and that the plaintiff had not shown newly discovered evidence, clear error, manifest injustice, or an intervening change in controlling law.

Holdings

2. Whether Plaintiff's asserted error concerning the date and cause of his technical difficulties established newly discovered evidence, clear error, manifest injustice, or an intervening change in controlling law sufficient to warrant reconsideration.
