denial of the conversation with Fultz appears for the first time in the form of an affidavit, completed one day before her response to Lockheed's motion for summary judgment and four months after the deposition. In evaluating whether an employee has been disciplined or terminated "because of' a protected trait, we must "look at the facts as. they appear to the person making the decision." Kendrick, 220 F.3d at 1231; Bullington v. United Air Lines, Inc., 186 F.3d 1301, 1318 (10th Cir.1999) (noting that "[t]he relevant inquiry is not whether [the employer's] proffered reasons were wise, fair or correct, but whether [the employer] honestly believed those reasons and acted in good faith upon those beliefs."); see also McKnight v. Kimberly Clark Corp., 149 F.3d 1125, 1129 (10th Cir.1998) (<HOLDING>). Before issuing the reprimand, Dixon informed

question:
Defendants' Mot. for Summ. Judg. at 22 ("Plaintiffs appear to be claiming that they are entitled to 'Class of One' review[.]")) Furthermore, County Defendants did not explicitly address the appeal issue anywhere in their motion. Given this background, it was not error for the Court to ascribe the "class of one" argument to Plaintiffs' equal protection challenge, nor was it error for the Court to find that County Defendants had not met their burden on the question of summary judgment. To the extent that County Defendants now contend that Plaintiffs "class of one" argument must fail because no other party has appealed for a waiver, this is a new argument that is not appropriate in a motion for reconsideration. See Haw. Stevedores, Inc. v. HT & T Co., 363 F.Supp.2d 1253, 1269 (D.Haw.2005) (<HOLDING>). Should County Defendants wish to re-visit

Fleming Foods of Tex., Inc. v. Rylander, 6 S.W.3d 278, 284 (Tex.1999). "[W]hen, as here, specific provisions of a 'nonsubstantive' codification and the code as a whole are direct, unambiguous, and cannot be reconciled with prior law, the codification rather than' the prior, repealed statute must be given effect." Id. at 286. Thus, under the plain language of section 38.001(8), a person may not recover attorney's fees against a partnership. Cfi Ganz v. Lyons P'ship, L.P., 173 F.R.D. 173, 176 (N.D.Tex.1997) (<HOLDING>). Without any other authority for the award of
