Appellee. District Judge.
This matter comes before the Court by way of Appellant Grace S. Wong’s (“Appellant”) motion for reconsideration. ECF No. 18. Appellee PNC Bank, National Association (“Appellee”) has opposed Appellant’s motion. ECF No. 19. The Court decides this matter without oral argument pursuant to Rule 78(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For the reasons set forth below, the Court denies Appellant’s motion for reconsideration.
I. BACKGROUND
Appellant filed a notice of appeal with this Court on April 20, 2016, appealing the Bankruptcy Court’s decision dismissing her amended complaint on April 14, 2016. ECF No. 1. Appellee moved to dismiss the appeal on April 28, 2016 (ECF No. 3) and Appellant opposed the motion to dismiss (ECF No. 7). The Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss on February 28, 2017 and directed the parties to submit additional briefing. ECF Nos. 10 and 11. following the parties additional briefing, the Court issued an opinion and order on September 28, 2018 affirming the Bankruptcy Court’s dismissal and closing the case. ECF Nos. 15 and 16. The Court issued an amended opinion on October 2, 2018 replacing the September 28, 2018 opinion. *2 Appellant subsequently filed a motion for reconsideration on October 26, 2018 (ECF No. 18), Appellee filed a response in opposition on November 1, 2018 (ECF No. 19), and Appellant filed a reply on May 24, 2019 (ECF No. 20).
II. LEGAL STANDARD
“[R]econsideration is an extraordinary remedy, that is granted ‘very sparingly.” Brackett v. Ashcroft, No. 03-3988, 2003 WL 22303078, at *2 (D.N.J. Oct. 7, 2003) (emphasis added) (citations omitted); see also fellenz v. Lombard mv. Corp., 400 F. Supp. 2d 681, 683 (D.N.J. 2005). A motion for reconsideration “may not be used to relitigate old matters, nor to raise arguments or present evidence that could have been raised prior to the entry of judgment.” P. Schoenfeld Asset Mgmt., LLC v. Cendant Corp., 161 F. Supp. 2d 349, 352 (D.N.J. 2001). To prevail on a motion for reconsideration, the moving party must “set[] forth concisely the matter or controlling decisions which the party believes the Judge or Magistrate Judge has overlooked.” L. Civ. R. 7.1(1).
The Court will reconsider a prior order only where a different outcome is justified by: “(1) an intervening change in controlling law; (2) the availability of new evidence not available previously; or (3) the need to correct a clear error of law or prevent manifest injustice.” N. River Ins. Co. v. CIGNA Reinsurance Co., 52 F.3d 1194, 1218 (3d Cir. 1995) (citations omitted). A court commits clear error of law “only the record cannot support the findings that led to that ruling.” ABS Brokerage Servs. v. Penson Servs., Inc., No. 09-4590, 2010 WL 3257992, at *6 (D.N.J. Aug. 16, 2010) (citing United States v. Grape, 549 F.3d 591, 603-04 (3d Cir. 2008)). “Thus, a party .. demonstrate that (1) the holdings on which it bases its request were without support in the record, or (2) would result in ‘manifest injustice’ not addressed.” Id. “Mere *3 d i s a g r ee m e n t w it t h e C ou r t ’ s d ec i s i on ’ do e s no t s u ff i ” Id.
