UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
RICHARD GLENN PRAMANN

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS

NO. 16-12413

JANSSEN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., ET AL

SECTION “B”(5)

ORDER AND REASONS
Before the Court is “Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment”
(Rec. Doc. 30). Local Rule 7.5 of the Eastern District of Louisiana
requires

that

memoranda

in

opposition

with

citations

of

authorities be filed and served no later than eight (8) days before
the noticed submission date. No memoranda in opposition to the
instant motion, set for submission on April 26, 2017, have been
submitted. Further, no party has filed a motion to continue the
noticed submission date or filed a motion for extension of time
within which to oppose the motion. The Plaintiff was advised in
this Court’s April 6, 2017 order (Rec. Doc. 39) that if he did not
file an opposition by April 18, 2017, the Motion for Summary
Judgment may be granted as unopposed. Accordingly, the motion is
deemed to be unopposed. It appearing to this Court that the motion
has merit,
IT IS ORDERED that the motion for summary judgment is GRANTED
and Plaintiff’s claims against Defendants Janssen Pharmaceuticals,
Inc., Johnson & Johnson, and Janssen Research and Development are
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
1

A motion for reconsideration of this Order based on the
appropriate Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, if any, must be filed
within

thirty

(30)

days

of

this

Order.

The

motion

must

be

accompanied by opposition memoranda to the original motion.
Because such a motion would not have been necessary had timely
opposition memoranda been filed, the costs incurred in connection
with the motion, including attorney's fees, will be assessed
against the party moving for reconsideration. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
16, 83.

A statement of costs conforming to Local Rule 54.3 shall

be submitted by all parties desiring to be awarded costs and
attorney's fees no later than eight (8) days prior to the noticed
submission date of the motion for reconsideration.

New Orleans, Louisiana, this 18th day of May, 2017.
