IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

RODRIC D. COHNS PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 4:14-CV-00453 BSM/BD

GARY STEWART, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

The Defendants have moved for summary judgment on all claims in this lawsuit. 

Mr. Cohns may file a response opposing the motion, if he wishes. To be considered, the

response must be filed within fourteen (14) days of this Order.1

In opposing the motion for summary judgment, Mr. Cohns may attach affidavits

that he or others have signed. Because affidavits are sworn statements, they must be

either notarized or declared under penalty of perjury (see 28 U.S.C. § 1746). Unsworn

statements will not be considered in deciding the motion for summary judgment. And to

be considered, an affidavit must be based on the personal knowledge of the person

signing it. 

1 Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) includes requirements for parties who are not represented

by counsel. They must: promptly notify the Clerk and the other parties in the case of any

change in address; monitor the progress of the case and to prosecute or defend the case

diligently; sign all pleadings and include a current address, zip code, and telephone

number; and be familiar with and follow both Local Rules and the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure. Any plaintiff not represented by counsel must respond to communications

from the Court within thirty (30) days, or the case can be dismissed.
