ORDER

Because the plaintiff has amended his response to 

defendants’ motion for summary judgment to correct the 

noted deficiencies, and because the plaintiff has 

produced on-the-record, non-hearsay testimony from 

Frankie Knight about the substance of his statements to 

the EEOC, demonstrating that the evidence has been and 

can be reduced to admissible form at trial, it is 

ORDERED that the defendants’ motion to strike (doc. no. 

44) is denied. See Jones v. UPS Ground Freight, 683 

F.3d 1283, 1293-94 (11th Cir. 2012) (“[A] district 

Case 2:13-cv-00335-MHT-CSC Document 78 Filed 02/11/15 Page 1 of 2
court may consider a hearsay statement in passing on a 

motion for summary judgment if the statement could be 

reduced to admissible evidence at trial or reduced to 

admissible form. The most obvious way that hearsay 

testimony can be reduced to admissible form is to have 

the hearsay declarant testify directly to the matter at 

trial.”) (internal citations omitted).

DONE, this the 11th day of February, 2015.
