Can a motion for reconsideration of a non-final order be made?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Dorey v. Gore, Case No.: 20cv1772-TWR (MSB) (S.D. Cal. 2021):

Where reconsideration of a non-final order is sought, the court has "inherent jurisdiction to modify, alter or revoke it." United States v. Martin, 226 F.3d 1042, 1049 (9th Cir. 2000) ("The authority of district courts to reconsider their own orders before they become final, absent some applicable rule or statute to the contrary, allows them to correct not only simple mistakes, but also decisions based on shifting precedent, rather than waiting for the time-consuming, costly process of appeal.") Here, however, a final order of dismissal has been filed and final judgment has been entered. (ECF Nos. 5-6.)
