What is the test for a Rule 59(e) motion to classify evidence as "newly discovered"?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Abarca v. Merck & Co., Case No. 1:07-cv-388 DOC (DLBx) (E.D. Cal. 2012):

For evidence to classify as "newly discovered" it must "be discovered after the judgment" and "could not be discovered earlier through due diligence" and must be "of such a magnitude that had the court known of it earlier, the outcome would like have been different." Dixon v. Wallowa County, 336 F.3d 1013, 1022 n.17 (9th Cir. 2003) (affirming a district court's denial of a Rule 59(e) motion because it was not shown that the "newly discovered evidence" could not have been discovered earlier through due diligence).
