                              UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                              FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

LARRY HODGE,

                         Plaintiff,                    Civil Action No. 12-cv-1412 (RLW)

                         v.

THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE, et al.,

                        Defendants.

                                  MEMORANDUM OPINION 1

        After dismissing Plaintiff Larry Hodge’s amended complaint for failing to satisfy FED. R.

CIV. P. 8(a) (Dkt. Nos. 10 & 11), Mr. Hodge now moves this Court pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P.

60(b) to reconsider. (Dkt. No. 12). Rule 60(b)(1) provides grounds for relief to a party that

identifies “mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.”            Mr. Hodge had two

opportunities to ensure his complaint met the minimal pleading requirements of Rule 8(a), and

failed to do so. Mr. Hodge now claims he has not been able to provide all documents in support

of his claim “due to the press of other matters and personal obligations.” (Dkt. No. 12, at ¶ 3).

But “[a] defeated litigant cannot set aside a judgment . . . because he failed to present . . . all of

the facts known to him that might have been useful to the court.” Richardson v. National Rifle

Ass’n, 879 F. Supp. 1, 2 (D.D.C. 1995) (quoting 11 Charles A. Wright & Arthur R. Miller,

FEDERAL PRACTICE      AND   PROCEDURE § 2858). Additionally, Mr. Hodge has still not provided

any relevant evidence to establish the nature or basis of his initial claim. See Murray v. District

of Columbia, 52 F.3d 353, 355 (D.C. Cir. 1995) (to obtain Rule 60(b) relief, “the movant must

provide the district court with reason to believe that vacating the judgment will not be an empty

exercise or a futile gesture”).

        Accordingly, Mr. Hodge’s motion to reconsider will be DENIED. A separate Order

accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.
