Micheal N.B. Attaway v. Darren Galloway and Amanda Smith

Summary

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois denies as moot the plaintiff’s motion requesting that the Court and defendants purchase books he authored and vacate an evidentiary hearing. The Court declines to reconsider its prior summary judgment ruling on administrative-remedies exhaustion because the plaintiff had an opportunity to present the relevant arguments and evidence before judgment.

Holdings

1. The court would not reconsider its prior summary-judgment ruling based on arguments and evidence that Plaintiff could have presented before judgment.
2. The motion was denied as moot because Plaintiff had already been given an opportunity to present his arguments at the evidentiary hearing.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the court should reconsider its grant of summary judgment based on Plaintiff's post-judgment declaration and arguments that could have been presented before judgment.
2. Whether Plaintiff's motion for judicial notice and request for an order requiring the court and Defendants to purchase his books should be granted or denied as moot.
