UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

LABORERS PENSION TRUST FUND DETROIT
AND VICINITY , et al.
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 11-13464

FIRST SEALORD SURETY, INC.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER SETTING SCHEDULE FOR MOTION FOR JUDGMENT
On November 4, 2011, the court conducted a scheduling conference with
counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant. Counsel indicated that they did not believe that
material issues of fact were in dispute, and agreed that the most efficient way to resolve
this matter is through motion practice to resolve the dispute as a matter of law. As
agreed at conference, the court will set a schedule to prepare for rendering judgment.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff is DIRECTED to file a motion for judgment by
December 2, 2011. Defendant shall file a response in opposition to Plaintiff’s motion,
by December 16, 2011. Although the response is not to be entitled “Counter-motion,”
Defendant may nonetheless argue for—and the court may grant—judgment in favor of
Defendant as a non-moving party. Fed. R. Civ. R. 56(f). Finally, any reply shall be filed
by January 4, 2012. No sur-reply is to be filed without leave of court.
