Heading: Carey’s motion for reconsideration

Text: Generally, motions for reconsideration under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) must rely on one of the following three grounds: “(1) an intervening change in controlling law; (2) the availability of new evidence; or (3) the need to correct clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice.” Lazaridis, 591 F.3d at 669 (internal citation omitted). Because Carey merely argued that he would be able to meet his burden of proof by questioning his witnesses on the stand at trial, he did not demonstrate any of the grounds justifying Rule 59(e) relief. Therefore, the District Court did not abuse its discretion in denying Carey’s motion for reconsideration. For the foregoing reasons, we will affirm the judgment of the District Court. 8
