WILLI N T. MOORE, JR.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA

' The court assumes that Defendant Wilson B. Smith will not
offer any argument at the hearing. In his response to
Plaintiff's Notion for Summary Judgment, Defendant Smith
argues only that Defendants Robert L. Jenkins, and Smith
and Jenkins are entitled to coverage under the policy, not
that he is entitled to coverage. (Doc. 51 at 2-3.) In
short, the Court will not permit Defendants Jenkins, and
Smith and Jenkins to utilize Defendant Smith's presence in
this case as an opportunity to provide an additional thirty
minutes of argument on their behalf.
