ELWOOD LEE,
Plaintiff

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 15-2528

OFFSHORE LOGISTICAL AND
TRANSPORTS L.L.C.,
Defendant

SECTION: “E” (2)

ORDER AND REASONS
Before the Court is Plaintiff’s response in opposition 1 to Defendants’ motion for
partial summary judgment. 2
Plaintiff’s response fails to comply with Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure, which requires a party asserting that a fact is genuinely disputed to support
the assertion by citing to particular parts of the record. 3 The party may satisfy this
requirement by citing to specific page numbers or paragraphs. In Plaintiff’s memorandum
in support of his motion, Plaintiff makes several assertions that lack citations. Plaintiff’s
statement of contested facts and response to the statement of uncontested facts contains
no citations to the record. Every assertion should be supported by a specific citation to
the record.
Accordingly;
IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(e), Plaintiff
shall re-file his response in opposition to the motion for partial summary judgment with
adequate record citations by Monday, July 25, 2016, at 5:00 p.m.
