`ANTITRUST LITIGATION
`
`
`
`Case No. 12-md-2311
`
`Sean F. Cox
`United States District Court Judge
`
`
`
`
`
`OPINION AND ORDER
`
`In this multidistrict litigation, the Court denied the motion to intervene filed by Financial
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Recovery Services, LLC (“FRS”) on November 17, 2020. (ECF No. 2101.) FRS timely appealed
`
`to the Sixth Circuit, where the case has not yet been argued. (ECF No. 2105.) Then, FRS filed an
`
`“Emergency Motion to Compel Acceptance and Processing of Vehicle Data” with this Court on
`
`February 17, 2021. (ECF No. 2114.) The Court construed that motion as a motion for
`
`reconsideration, under Local Rule 7.1(h), and denied it on April 28, 2021. (ECF No. 2134.) Now,
`
`FRS asks this Court to reconsider its April 28 opinion while the end-payor plaintiffs have moved
`
`to strike. (ECF Nos. 2137, 2138.)
`
`The Court agrees with end-payor plaintiffs that this is an improper motion. The Court
`
`already considered—and rejected—a motion to reconsider from FRS. There is no need to have
`
`briefing or otherwise continue to entertain a motion that “merely present[s] the same issues ruled
`
`upon by the Court.” See E.D. Mich. LR 7.3(h)(3).
`
`End-payor plaintiffs’ motion to strike is hereby GRANTED and FRS’ motion for
`

`
