April 23, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 140 OPINION AND ORDER: re: 136 FIRST LETTER MOTION to Reopen Case Resubmission Reconsideration/Reargument addressed to Judge P. Kevin Castel from John Bal dated 01-03-2019. filed by John Bal. The Court stated in its Opinion on summary j udgment and it remains true today that it is highly prejudicial to defendants at this late stage in the proceedings, now nearly three years after the Complaint was filed, to allow Bal to assert entirely new legal theories and facts. Bal, 2018 WL 6528 766, at *2 n.2; see Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182 (1963) (leave to amend may be denied upon a showing of undue delay or undue prejudice to the opposing party). Further, the Court sees no reason why any legal arguments related to subsequent electi ons would not fail for the same reasons the claims related to the February 2016 election were dismissed. Bal's motion to reconsider and/or vacate the judgment or to amend his Complaint is therefore DENIED. The Clerk is directed to terminate t he motion (Doc 136) and close the case. This Court certifies pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and in forma pauperis status is denied. See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 44445 (1962). (Signed by Judge P. Kevin Castel on 4/23/2019) (js) Modified on 4/24/2019 (js).
