Also, as the rule states, the motion must be brought within 28 days
of the entry of the order/judgment you are seeking to reconsider.

Alik,
A motion for reconsideration is governed by FRBP 9023 (referring to
FRCivP 59), not 9024 (referring to FRCivP 60)
LBR 9013-4 is probably what you're looking for.

I dug a little deeper and I found that our LBR 1001-1 provides as follows:
LBR 1001-1. TITLE, APPLICATION, AND SCOPE OF RULES
(e) Procedure in Absence of Rule.
(1) A matter not specifically covered by these Local Bankruptcy Rules may be
determined, if possible, by parallel or analogy to the F.R.Civ.P., the
FRBP, or the
District Court Rules.
There is no LBR rule on motions for reconsideration, but there is a LDCR
rule on such motions. So rule 1001-1(e)(1) is triggered. However, it
appears that LDCR are not mandatory, but persuasive authority. So
presenting a motion for reconsideration in bankruptcy court that is broader
than LDCR 7-18 permit, may not work if the court applies that rule, but it
would not be a sanctionable offense.
Does this make sense?

I dug a little deeper and I found that our LBR 1001-1 provides as follows:LBR 1001-1. TITLE, APPLICATION, AND SCOPE OF RULES(e) Procedure in Absence of Rule.(1) A matter not specifically covered by these Local Bankruptcy Rules may be
determined, if possible, by parallel or analogy to the F.R.Civ.P., the FRBP, or theDistrict Court Rules.There is no LBR rule on motions for reconsideration, but there is a LDCR rule on such motions. So rule 1001-1(e)(1) is triggered. However, it appears that LDCR are not mandatory, but persuasive authority. So presenting a motion for reconsideration in bankruptcy court that is broader than LDCR 7-18 permit, may not work if the court applies that rule, but it would not be a sanctionable offense.

How strictly is District Court Local Rule 7-18 enforced in bankruptcy court, and particularly by judge Nieter? It seems to contradict Federal Rules 60.
The 9th Circuit has held that a motion for reconsideration may be granted when "the district court
* is presented withnewly discovered evidence,
* committed clear error, or
* if there is an intervening change in the controlling law." Kona Enters. v. Estate of Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 890 (9th Cir. 2000).
In addition, FRCP 60(b)(made applicable by FRBP 9024) appears to introduce additional grounds:
(1)mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.
(3) fraud (whether previously called intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party;
(6) any other reason that justifies relief.
However the Local Rule7-18of the US District Court for the California Central District says
A motion for reconsideration ofthe decision on any motion may be made only on the grounds of
the Court before such decision thatin the exercise of reasonable diligence could not have been known to the partymoving for reconsideration at the time of such decision, or
ring after the time of such decision, or
ted to the Courtbefore such decision.
And Rutter Group, Cal. Prac. Guide Fed. Civ. Pro. Before Trial Ch. 12:160.5 says in reference to District Court Local Rule 7-18 that motion for reconsideration "grounds may be further limited by localrules."

How strictly is District Court Local Rule 7-18 enforced in bankruptcy
court, and particularly by judge Nieter? It seems to contradict Federal
Rules 60.
The 9th Circuit has held that a motion for reconsideration may be granted
when "the district court
- is presented with newly discovered evidence,
- committed clear error, or
- if there is an intervening change in the controlling law."
Kona Enters. v. Estate of Bishop, 229 F.3d 877, 890 (9th Cir. 2000).
In addition, FRCP 60(b) (made applicable by FRBP 9024) appears to introduce
additional grounds:
(1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.
(3) fraud (whether previously called intrinsic or extrinsic),
misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party;
(6) any other reason that justifies relief.
However the Local Rule 7-18 of the US District Court for the California
Central District says
A motion for reconsideration of the decision on any motion may be made only
on the grounds of
(a) a material difference in fact or law from that presented to the Court
before such decision that in the exercise of reasonable diligence could not
have been known to the party moving for reconsideration at the time of such
decision, or
(b) the emergence of new material facts or a change of law occurring after
the time of such decision, or
(c) a manifest showing of a failure to consider material facts presented
to the Court before such decision.
And Rutter Group, Cal. Prac. Guide Fed. Civ. Pro. Before Trial Ch. 12:160.5
says in reference to District Court Local Rule 7-18 that motion for
reconsideration "grounds may be further limited by local rules."
