A '''motion for reconsideration''' in federal district court is governed by Motions by either Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) or 60(b). ''See Anyanwuaktu v. Moore'', 151 F.3d 1053, 1057 (D.C. Cir. 1998).

To determine the proper Rule to apply, the Court must look to the timing of the plaintiff's motion and the grounds for relief stated therein. ''Butler v. Robinson'', 636 F.2d 526, 529 (D.C. Cir. 1980).

== Rule 59(e) ==

A party may file a motion to alter or amend a judgment within "10 days after entry of the judgment." Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e).

== Rule 60(b) ==

A party may seek relief from a final judgment "within a reasonable time" after entry of the final judgment, but only for reasons specified in the Rule. Fed R. Civ. P. 60(b).
