Hi. You say those facts were "previously ignored." If they were considered in the motion and dismissed in making the ruling then they are not new facts. If not, then they should be considered new facts. Here is a list of case decisions as they interpreted the definition of "new facts" under CCP 1008(b). This should give you the direction you are looking for and the laaw to support it. Good luck!
New or different facts
