1Opinion of the Court
SCHWELB, Associate Judge:
The dispositive question presented in this appeal is whether the trial judge had the authority to grant a “motion for reconsideration,” and to set aside her own earlier order on the basis of legal error, where the motion was not filed within the 10-day period specified in Super.Ct.Civ.R. 59(e). We answer that question in the negative, reverse the judgment, and remand the case with directions.
