ENTRY
Summary judgment is appropriate when the moving party “shows that there is
no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as
a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). The party moving for summary judgment will
always bear the initial burden of proving the absence of genuine issues of material
fact.” Seng–Tiong Ho v. Taflove, 648 F.3d 489, 496 (7th Cir. 2011).
The plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is supported by a narrative
telling the story of medical neglect and mismanagement from his perspective, but
that statement does not cite to the pleadings or to evidentiary materials outside the
pleadings and is riddled with conclusions and opinions for which no evidentiary basis
is presented. That motion [68] fails to establish the absence of genuine issues of
material fact, fails to establish that he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, and
is therefore denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
