In considering a motion for reconsideration, the Board has applied a four-part test to determine whether the movant has demonstrated:
[Page 3]
(i) material differences in fact or law from that presented to a court of which the moving party could not have known through reasonable diligence, (ii) new material facts that occurred after the court's decision, (iii) a change in the law after the court's decision, and (iv) failure to consider material facts presented to the court before its decision.[9 ]
Upon review of the Respondents' Motion, we conclude that the Respondents have failed to meet any of the provisions of the Board's four-part test for reconsideration. Instead, the Respondents' Motion rehashes arguments the Board has already considered and rejected. Accordingly, we DENY the Respondents' Motion in its entirety.
SO ORDERED.
