) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ORDER

CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:09cv689-MHT (WO)

It is ORDERED that defendant WestPoint Home, Inc.'s motion to strike (doc. no. 35) is denied. In resolving WestPoint's motion for summary

judgment, the court has implicitly considered the motion to strike as notice of objection to the evidence

described. Supp. 2d

See Norman v. Southern Guar. Ins. Co., 191 F. 1321, 1328 (M.D. Ala. 2002); Anderson v.

Radisson Hotel Corp., 834 F. Supp. 1364, 1368 n. 1 (S.D. Ga. 1993). The court is capable of sifting evidence, as

required by the summary-judgment standard, without resort to an exclusionary process, and the court will not allow

the summary-judgment stage to degenerate into a battle of motions to strike. DONE, this the 11th day of August, 2010. /s/ Myron H. Thompson UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
