and

Defendants.

ORDER
This case is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Aside Order (Doc. 22),
which the Court also construes as a motion to set aside the judgment entered in favor of
Defendants on March 7, 2014. Plaintiff’s counsel states in the motion, which is
unopposed, that he did not receive a copy of Defendants’ summary judgment motion
and did not know about the motion until receiving a copy of the order granting the
motion. Plaintiff requests that he be given the opportunity to respond to Defendants’
motion as provided by law.
For good cause shown, Plaintiff’s Motion to Set Aside Order (Doc. 22) is granted.
The Court’s order (Doc. 20) granting Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment and
the final Judgment (Doc. 22) in favor of Defendants are both vacated. Plaintiff will have
until March 31, 2014 to respond to Defendants’ motion. Defendants will then have the
standard 14-day period of time to reply.
SO ORDERED, this the 10th day of March, 2014.
