IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
JONESBORO DIVISION
NICHOLAS CORTEZ ADDISON
V.

PLAINTIFF

CASE NO. 3:15-CV-00154 DPM/BD

JOEY MARTIN

DEFENDANT

ORDER
Defendant Martin has moved for summary judgment on all claims in this lawsuit.
(Docket entry #33) Mr. Addison now has an opportunity to file a response opposing the
motion. To be considered, the response must be filed within fourteen (14) days of this
Order.
In opposing the motion for summary judgment, Mr. Addison may attach affidavits
that he or others have signed. Because affidavits are sworn statements, they must be
either notarized or declared under penalty of perjury (see 28 U.S.C. § 1746). Unsworn
statements will not be considered in deciding the motion for summary judgment. And to
be considered, an affidavit must be based on the personal knowledge of the person who
signs it.
If Mr. Addison files a response, he must also file a separate, short statement setting
forth the disputed facts that he believes must be decided at a trial. See Local Rule 56.1,
Rules of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. While Mr.
Addison is not required to file a response to the Defendants’ motion for summary

judgment, if he does not respond, the Court can assume that the facts set out in the
Defendant’s Statement of Facts (#35) are true.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 20th day of October, 2015.
