Summary of Case
Procedural Posture: Defendant has filed a motion to reconsider the interlocutory order filed by the Court.
Overview: The original case, from which the interlocutory order arose in, was based upon a negligence claim the Plaintiffs filed against the Defendant. Defendant has motioned the Court to reconsider the interlocutory order, as the order contains a number of inaccurate statement of facts.
Outcome: The Court makes a correction as to the inaccurate facts, and finds that the remaining arguments of the Defendant in the motion are not persuasive. Motion for Reconsideration is denied.
