Case No.: 18-1666

Officials: FLAUM, MANION, and ST. EVE, Circuit Judges.

Focus: Reconsideration Motion Denied

On January 17, 2017, plaintiff-appellant NewSpin Sports, LLC (“NewSpin”) filed a complaint against defendant-appellee Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Arrow”). In this complaint, NewSpin brought several contract and tort-based claims against Arrow relating to allegedly defective goods Arrow manufactured and shipped pursuant to a contract between the parties. The district court dismissed the original complaint in its entirety as untimely and entered judgment against NewSpin on the same day. The district court also denied NewSpin’s motion for reconsideration and for leave to file an amended complaint. For the reasons below, we affirm in part and reverse in part the district court’s dismissal of NewSpin’s complaint. We also reverse the district court’s denial of NewSpin’s request to amend its complaint in its reconsideration motion, and we remand for further proceedings.
