United States District Judge

v.

Mag. Judge David R. Grand

Defendants.
________________________________/
ORDER GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT TO DLI
PROPERTIES, L.LC. ON REMAINING CLAIM AGAINST IT
On September 6, 2017, the Court ordered the parties, pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(f), to submit supplemental briefing regarding whether
summary judgment should be entered in favor of defendant DLI
Properties, L.L.C. (“DLI”) on the remaining claim against it: plaintiff
Douglas St. Pierre’s Michigan People With Disabilities Civil Rights Act
(“PWDCRA”) claim.

Defendants timely responded on September 20,

2017, arguing that the claim – and, by extension, DLI – should be
dismissed. Plaintiffs did not respond.
Because the record in this case establishes that DLI committed no
act that could give rise to liability under the PWDCRA, and the
individual defendants are not DLI’s employees such that DLI could be
liable for their actions, it is hereby ordered that:
Summary judgment on St. Pierre’s PWDCRA claim is GRANTED
as to DLI; and
DLI is DISMISSED from this case.
The remaining claims for trial consist of Taylor’s assault and
battery claim against Farmer and Wiggins, plaintiffs’ negligent hiring,
training, and supervision claims against S.A.F.E. Management, and St.
Pierre’s PWDCRA claim against Farmer and S.A.F.E. Management.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: September 28, 2017
Ann Arbor, Michigan
