RE: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation, et al. v. Freedom
Mortgage Corporation et al., C.A. No. 2020-0161-SG
Dear Counsel:
I have Plaintiffs’ motion for reargument. The Plaintiffs have moved for
reargument of a scheduling order. A motion for reargument is appropriate in two
circumstances: where the court has “overlooked a decision or principle of law that
would have controlling effect or misapprehended the facts or the law so the outcome
of the decision would be different.” RE: Kratos Def. & Sec. Sols., Inc., v. Securitas
Elec. Sec., Inc., 2020 WL 1922000, at *1 (Del. Ch. Apr. 20, 2020) (quoting Pontone
v. Milso Indus. Corp., 2014 WL 4352341, at *1 (Del. Ch. Sept. 13, 2014)). Neither
of those circumstances is present here. Plaintiffs simply disagree with a matter
within the court’s discretion. Coleman v. PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLC, 902 A.2d
1102, 1107 (Del. 2006) (“It is well settled that the trial court has discretion to resolve
scheduling issues and to control its own docket.” (internal quotations omitted)).
Therefore, to the extent I consider the Plaintiffs’ motion a motion for reargument it
is denied.
I find it appropriate, however, to consider the Plaintiffs’ motion a motion for
reconsideration of scheduling, I have directed my Assistant to contact the parties to
schedule a teleconference promptly regarding moving this matter forward.
To the extent the foregoing requires an order to take effect, it is SO
ORDERED.
Sincerely,
/s/ Sam Glasscock III
Sam Glasscock III
