ARM 24.5.337 MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

Dostal v. Uninsured Employers' Fund [11/05/12] 2012 MTWCC 41 Since ARM 24.5.337 does not provide for a reply brief, the Court granted Respondent’s motion to strike Petitioner’s reply brief to her motion for reconsideration.

Cornelius v. Lumbermen's Underwriting Alliance [08/07/12] 2012 MTWCC 29 Where Respondent set forth a list of alleged “facts [which] deserve some more attention,” but offered no insight into what it expected the Court to do or how the list of items should cause the Court to reconsider its decision, the Court concluded that Respondent had not set forth grounds entitling it to reconsideration of the Court’s decision.

Siebken v. Liberty Northwest Ins. Co. [12/18/07] 2007 MTWCC 56 Where a matter was submitted and decided on briefs without a trial, Petitioner’s “Petition for a New Trial” will be considered as motion for reconsideration as a new trial cannot be granted where no trial occurred.
Michalak v. Liberty Northwest Ins. Corp. [04/24/07] 2007 MTWCC 14A Petitioner’s motion to amend the Court’s findings nunc pro tunc to correct a clerical error was granted although Respondent opposed the motion on the grounds that the Court lacked jurisdiction due to the filing of an appeal. The Court retains jurisdiction pursuant to ARM 24.5.337 to correct clerical errors even after a party files a notice of appeal to the Montana Supreme Court. The language of Rule 60(a) of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure is unambiguous. A clerical error may be corrected at any time.
