How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that under unusual circumstances an amendment outside the listed situations may be appropriate
• noting that a reconsideration motion 2 “should not be granted, absent highly unusual circumstances”
• finding no clear error in a district court order resolving a “debatable” question
• “[R]econsideration of a judgment 14 after its entry is an extraordinary remedy which should be used sparingly.”
• “When, on the other hand, we review a district court’s refusal to modify a protective order on the ground of changed circumstances, the legal basis for the original order is not at issue.”
• “[W]e disapprove [of] any suggestion ... that a refusal to reconsider is an abuse of discretion merely because the underlying order is erroneous, rather than clearly erroneous.”
