Alleman, 2016-Ohio-5481.] PER CURIAM. {¶1} Tracy Kinderdine, et al., Plaintiff-Appellants, filed a motion for reconsideration in the appeal of Kinderdine et al., v. Breanna Alleman, 7th Dist. No. 14 MA 0174, 0177, 0180, 0181, 2016-Ohio-4815. {¶2} "The test generally applied upon the filing of a motion for reconsideration in the court of appeals is whether the motion calls to the attention of the court an obvious error in its decision, or raises an issue for consideration that was either not considered at all or was not fully considered by the court when it should have been." Columbus v. Hodge, 37 Ohio App.3d 68, 523 N.E.2d 515 (1987), paragraph one of the syllabus. {¶3} The purpose of reconsideration is not to reargue one's appeal based on dissatisfaction with the logic used and conclusions reached by an appellate court. Victory White Metal Co. v. N.P. Motel Syst. Inc., 7th Dist. No. 04 MA 0245, 2005– Ohio–3828, ¶ 2. "An application for reconsideration may not be filed simply on the basis that a party disagrees with the prior appellate court decision." Hampton v. Ahmed, 7th Dist. No. 02 BE 0066, 2005–Ohio–1766, ¶ 16 (internal citation omitted). Nor is it "a mechanism to raise an entirely new argument and issue to the appellate court that was not raised in the appellate brief." State v. Wellington, 7th Dist. No. 14 MA 0115, 2015-Ohio-2095, ¶ 9. {¶4} The Kinderdines allege that this Court failed to apply the correct standard for reviewing a judgment on the pleadings. We held: In light of the disposition of our resolution of the Kinderdines' appeal of the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Callos, the merits of this appeal are moot. App.R. 12(B). The Kinderdines asserted in their complaint against Alleman that she was acting within the scope of her employment. As Alleman was an employee of ESC, pursuant to the loan servant doctrine, she is immune from liability pursuant to R.C. 2744.03(A)(5). Further, the Kinderdines have failed to meet their burden of proof, making conclusory allegations rather than alleging operative facts demonstrating that Alleman acted in a willful, - 2 - wanton or reckless manner. R.C. 2744.03(A)(6)(b). Kinderdine, ¶ 34 {¶5} The Kinderdines' arguments regarding Alleman's liability were fully considered by this Court prior to ruling on the matter. The Kinderdines' motion for reconsideration does not call to the attention of the court an obvious error, but merely a disagreement with the decision reached by the Court. Accordingly, the Kinderdines' motion for reconsideration is denied. DeGenaro, J., concurs. Waite, J., concurs. Robb, J., concurs.
