Filing 86 OPINION AND ORDER: re: 67 MOTION for Reconsideration re; 60 Order on Motion to Dismiss, filed by David Mathers, Tidjane Thiam, Credit Suisse Group AG, Brady Dougan. Accordingly, Defendants' argument that Plaintiffs have not pled a control person claim against Thiam is also denied. Lastly, Defendants' argument that Plaintiffs lack standing to pursue claims against Thiam is inappropriate on a motion for reconsideration. Defendants failed to raise this issue in the motion to dismiss and bring it for the first time on reconsideration. Because Defendants have not identified "an intervening change of controlling law, the availability of new evidence, or the need to correct a clear error or prevent manifest injustice," Kolel Beth, 729 F.3d at 104, the motion for reconsideration is DENIED. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the open motion at Docket No. 67. (Signed by Judge Lorna G. Schofield on 5/16/2019) (ama) |
Filing 60 ORDER granting in part and denying in part 50 Motion to Dismiss.
