Text: Normally, we review a district court’s decision regarding a motion for reconsideration for an abuse of discretion. Where, however, as here, the motion seeks reconsideration of a summaryjudgment grant, we review the decision de novo as though we were reviewing the summaryjudgment grant. Hansmann v. Fid. Invs. Institutional Servs. Co., 326 F.3d 760, 766–67 (6th Cir. 2003). Summary judgment is appropriate “if the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). The moving party bears the burden of proving that there are no genuine issues of material fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322–23 (1986).
