ORDER STRIKING

DEFENDANTS'

MOTIONS FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

Defendants Signature Flight Support Corporation (Signature),

BBA Aviation Shared Services, Inc. (BBA), Steve True, Dennis Smith

and Val Vaden have filed no fewer than nine separate motions for

partial summary adjudication of the claims of Plaintiffs Donald

Hamilton, Bobby Jones, Damon Barron Smith and Aljarice Sanders. 

Also pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' motion pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(f) to strike or continue

Defendants' first three summary judgment motions. The Court's

standing orders clearly state that "all issues shall be contained

within one [summary judgment] motion." Moreover, the Court has not

yet set any deadline for the completion of fact discovery or for

hearing of case dispositive motions. It has instructed Plaintiffs

to file a motion for class certification by January 27, 2006 and

notice it for hearing on March 3, 2006, at which point the Court

will consider the issue of consolidation. In the meantime,

Defendants' many motions for summary judgment are premature. 

Accordingly, the Court STRIKES Defendants' motions for partial

summary adjudication (Docket Nos. 65, 70, 73, 107, 111, 116, 120,

125 and 129). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 1/6/06
