NUMBER 13-370-BAJ-SCR
ORDER
Plaintiff filed a Motion for Summary Judgment, which was
denied. Record document numbers 18 and 21, motion; record document
number 29, Ruling and Order denying Motion for Summary Judgment.
When the plaintiff has moved for summary judgment and the
record
developed

are
on
the

Corp., 940 F.2d 957 (5th Cir. 1991); Arkwright Boston Mfgs. Mutual
Ins. Co. v. Aries Marine Corp., 932 F.2d 442 (5th Cir. 1991);
Marriott Brothers v. Gage, 911 F.2d 1105 (5th Cir. 1990).
A review of the plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment showed
that the summary judgment in favor of the defendants may be
appropriate.
However, before summary judgment can be granted in
favor of a party who did not request it notice and a reasonable
time to respond must be given.
Rule 56(f), Fed.R.Civ.P.
Therefore;
IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiff shall have until March 6,
2015, to file sufficient affidavits, documents and other materials
the court may properly consider under Rule 56 to demonstrate the
existence of a disputed issue of material fact and an adequate
legal
basis
to
maintain
his
claims
against
the
defendants.
Defendants shall have until March 20, 2015, to file a response to
the plaintiff’s submission.
