Jefferson v. Akins

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri denied the plaintiff’s motions for reconsideration and disqualification or recusal in a closed civil action. The court concluded that the motions presented no new arguments and directed the Clerk to return any future filings in the matter unfiled.

Holdings

1. The motion for reconsideration was denied because it presented no new or novel arguments and again challenged the previously resolved issue of insufficient service.
2. The motion for disqualification or recusal was denied.
3. The Clerk was directed to return any additional documents Plaintiff submitted in the closed matter unfiled.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration should be granted when it presented no new or novel arguments and merely repeated prior challenges to the sufficiency of service.
2. Whether Plaintiff's motion for disqualification or recusal should be granted.
3. Whether the Clerk should be directed to return future documents submitted in the closed matter unfiled.
