Can a motion for reconsideration be granted after entry of judgment?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Thomas v. Pomona Valley Hosp. Med. Ctr., B239542 (Cal. App. 2014):
Moreover, after entry of judgment, a trial court has no further power to rule on a motion for reconsideration. (Ramon v. Aerospace Corp. (1996) 50 Cal.App.4th 1233, 1236.) Accordingly, following the December 5, 2011 order of dismissal, the trial court had no power to grant reconsideration.
The order of dismissal is affirmed. The Hospital shall recover its costs on appeal.
