ARMY FLEET SUPPORT, LLC, etc., )

 ) (wo)

Defendants. )

ORDER

Upon consideration of the briefing in support of and in opposition to the Motion for 

Summary Judgment, it appears to the court that additional briefing is required on two issues. 

The Defendant, Army Fleet Support, LLC (“AFS”), states in its Reply that the Plaintiff suggests 

that AFS has conceded that his absences should have qualified for FMLA treatment (Doc. #43 at 

p.2), but AFS does not directly address whether the absence did in fact qualify for FMLA 

treatment. Also, in the Reply, AFS argues, apparently for the first time, that the Plaintiff did not 

raise certain issues of contract interpretation at his grievance hearing or request arbitration.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

1. The Defendant is given until October 1, 2014 to file a supplemental brief which 

addresses whether it concedes that the Plaintiff’s absences qualified for FLMA 

treatment and, if the Defendant does not so-concede, the effect of that on the 

Plaintiff’s claims in this case.

2. The Plaintiff is given until October 1, 2014 to file a supplemental brief which 

addresses the Defendant’s argument regarding grievance and arbitration as stated on 

page 10 of the Reply (Doc. #43).

Done this 24th day of September, 2014
