ORDER: In an opinion and order issued May 8, 2019, the Court dismissed pro se plaintiff Chinwe Atuegwu's claims. See Dkt. 69. Ms. Atuegwu had brought an action under 26 U.S.C. § 7422 to recover a tax refund and nearly $3 million in damages for the 2013 tax year. Dkt. 1. Thereafter, however, Ms. Atuegwu repeatedly failed to attend a deposition at the U.S. Attorneys Office in Manhattan, in violation of court orders directing her to do so. The Government accordingly sought lea ve to move to dismiss for failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Dkt. 50. After receiving such leave, the Government filed such a motion on April 12, 2019, Dkt. 6568, which Ms. Atuegwu did not oppose, and which th is Court granted. See Dkt. 69 ("Dismissal Decision"). On September 30, 2019, Ms. Atuegwu filed a motion to reconsider and vacate the order. Dkt. 77. On September 28, 2020 the Court issued an opinion finding that Ms. Atuegwu had "fai led to demonstrate any error in the Courts analysis in the Dismissal Decision, any controlling case law that the Court overlooked, or any other reason that the Court should vacate its order dismissing the case," and thus denying the motion t o vacate. Dkt. 86 at 3. On March 29, 2021, the Court received another letter motion for reconsideration of the Court's opinion to terminate this case. Dkt. 89. That March 29 letter motion, however, fails to state any ground cognizable under t he Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for reconsideration of the Court's opinion. This new motion is thus denied. Additional motions to reconsider the Court's September 28, 2020 opinion will not be found timely. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e), 60(c). This case remains closed. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 4/1/2021) (jca)
