Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Carolina

Are the standards to move for reconsideration in a federal district court (Rule 59) the same for moving in the federal court of appeals?

I would like to move for reconsideration of a order handed down by a circuit court/ However, I can't find any case law discussing the elements to do so on an order handed by an appellate court. I am just looking for an answer generally (so that the actual court doesn't matter as much as this point).

Thanks!
