ORDER DENYING MOTION

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

AS MOOT

(Document #39)

On April 22, 2005, Defendant Doctors Medical Group moved for summary judgment

in this action. The parties then stipulated to continue numerous dates in this action. On

December 9, 2005, the parties informed the court that Plaintiff and Defendant Doctors

Medical Group had reached a settlement in this action. On December 13, 2005, the Clerk of

the Court notified the parties that Plaintiff and Defendant Doctors Medical Group must file

dispositional documents by March 13, 2005. No dispositional documents have been filed.

An administrative review of the docket in this action reveals that Defendant Doctor

Medical Group’s motion for summary judgment has been administratively termed as an

outstanding motion. This motion has become moot because the parties have resolved this

case as to Defendant Doctors Medical Group. This court cannot maintain a pending motion

on the court’s docket any longer regardless of the fact Defendant Doctors Medical Group has

not been formally dismissed from this case.
