IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI
NORTHERN DIVISION
RONALD H. BRITT, on behalf of all
wrongful death beneficiaries of
OPAL A. BRITT
vs.
PLAINTIFF
CIVIL ACTION No.: 3:19-CV-90-HTW-LGI
MERIT HEALTH CENTRAL et al
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
BEFORE THIS COURT is the Motion of the Defendant Jackson HMA, LLC d/b/a Merit
Health Central for Summary Judgment [Docket no. 40].
Defendants Merit Health Central and American Medical Response (“AMR”) filed motions
for summary judgment in January 2021 [doc. nos. 27 and 29]. Because the parties had not engaged
in a case management conference and discovery had not been completed, this court entered its
Order [doc. no. 37] denying both motions without prejudice.
After the case management conference was held on June 8, 2021, Defendant Merit Health
Central filed a Second Motion for summary Judgment [doc. no. 40] on June 23, 2021. Plaintiff
then filed a motion [doc. no. 43] to hold Merit Health Central’s motion in abeyance, since
discovery was still not completed.
Merit Health Central has now filed another (third) summary judgment motion [doc. no.
51], rendering moot the previous motion.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that defendant Merit Health Central’s Second Motion
for Summary Judgment [Docket no. 40] is hereby denied as moot.
SO ORDERED this the 7th day of January, 2022.
HENRY T. WINGATE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
