ORDER

Defendants have moved for summary judgment as to some claims plaintiff Tylon Calvin
King has raised against them (Doc. Nos. 24 & 32). King now has an opportunity to file responses
opposing the motions. To be considered, the responses must be filed within fourteen (14) days of
this order’s entry date.1
In opposing the motions for summary judgment, King 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 King 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 King is not required to file a response to
the motions for summary judgment, if he does not respond, the Court can assume that the facts set
