EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
NELSIE SAULSBERRY

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO: 11-2142

CHEVRON USA, INC., ET AL

SECTION: "J”(2)
ORDER

Local Rule 7.5E of the Eastern District of Louisiana
requires that memoranda in opposition to a motion be filed eight
days prior to the noticed submission date for the motion.

To

date, no memorandum in opposition to Defendant Chevron USA’s
Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Rec. Doc. 16), set for
hearing on November 23, 2011, has been submitted.
this motion is deemed to be unopposed.

Accordingly,

Further, it appearing to

the Court that the motion has merit,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Chevron U.S.A.’s Motion for
Judgment on the Pleadings (Rec. Doc. 16) is hereby GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that oral argument on the Motion,
currently set for November 23, 2011, at 9:30 a.m. is CANCELED.
A motion for reconsideration of this order based on the
appropriate Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, if any, must be
filed within thirty days.

The motion must be accompanied by an

opposition memorandum to the original motion.

Because such a

motion would not have been necessary had a timely opposition
memorandum been filed, the costs incurred in connection with the

motion, including attorney’s fees, may be assessed against the
party moving for reconsideration.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16.

New Orleans, Louisiana, this 21st day of November, 2011.
