HOUSEHOLD FINANCE v. 1ST AMERICAN TITLE

No. 95-CV-117.

669 A.2d 703 (1995)

HOUSEHOLD FINANCE CORPORATION III, Appellant, v. FIRST AMERICAN TITLE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided December 28, 1995.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Douglas H. Seitz, Baltimore, MD, with whom Catherine H. Bellinger was on the brief, for appellant.

Carol S. Blumenthal, Washington, DC, for appellee.

Before TERRY and SCHWELB, Associate Judges, and NEWMAN, Senior Judge.

SCHWELB, Associate Judge:

The dispositive question presented in this appeal is whether the trial judge had the authority to grant a "motion for reconsideration," and to set aside her own earlier order on the basis of legal error, where the motion was not filed within the 10-day period specified in Super.Ct.Civ.R. 59(e). We answer that question in the negative, reverse the judgment, and remand the case with directions.
