Judge Denies AT&T Motion for Reconsideration of Rejected Ore. Cell Tower Application

U.S. Magistrate Judge Mustafa Kasubhai for Oregon in Eugene denied AT&T’s motion for reconsideration of his granting of summary judgment for Lane County, Oregon, and rejected the company's request that he approve its application that the county denied for a 150-foot cell tower on a five-acre parcel of land near Oregon’s Pacific Coast (see 2311200016), said the judge’s opinion and order Thursday (docket 6:22-cv-01635). In granting summary judgment for the county, the judge held that AT&T failed to exhaust its remedies under Oregon’s administrative land use process. AT&T’s motion for reconsideration “raises no new arguments and fails to demonstrate any mistake” in the court’s reasoning or other reason that justifies relief under Rule 60(b)(1) or (6), said the judge’s order.
