ORDER
Presently pending before the Court is the Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket Entry
No. 56) filed by Defendant Michael Graulau. In light of the motion for summary judgment, the
evidentiary hearing currently set for July 2, 2014, is CANCELLED.
The plaintiff shall have until May 9, 2014, to file a response to the motion for summary
judgment. The plaintiff is advised that Rule 56(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mandates
that summary judgment be granted if the moving party shows that there is no genuine dispute as to
any material fact and the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. Once the
defendant properly shows the absence of a genuine dispute for trial, the plaintiff must show that the
material facts are genuinely disputed by citing to materials in the record, including depositions,
documents, electronically stored information, affidavits or declarations, stipulations, admissions,
interrogatory answers, or other materials, or show that the materials cited by the defendant do not
establish an undisputed fact or that the defendant cannot produce admissible evidence to support
such fact(s).
The plaintiff is also advised that, if he wishes to dispute the facts submitted by the defendant,
he must respond to the defendant’s Statement of Undisputed Facts (Docket Entry No. 58) in accord

with Local Rule 56.01(c), by responding to each fact set forth by the defendant by either (1) agreeing
that the fact is undisputed; (2) agreeing that the fact is undisputed for the purposes of ruling on
summary judgment; or (3) by demonstrating that the fact is disputed, with specific citation to the
record. The plaintiff may include his responses to each fact listed on the same copy of the
defendant’s Statement of Undisputed Facts with which he was served, and then file that document
together with his response. If the plaintiff needs more space to respond to the defendant’s Statement
of Undisputed Facts, the plaintiff may attach additional pages thereto.
Finally, the plaintiff is advised that failure to file a timely response to the motion for
summary judgment could result in the dismissal of the claims brought against the defendant.
Any party desiring to appeal this Order may do so by filing a motion for review no later than
fourteen (14) days from the date this Order is served upon the party. The motion for review must
be accompanied by a brief or other pertinent documents to apprise the District Judge of the basis for
appeal. See Rule 72.02(b) of the Local Rules of Court.
So ORDERED.
