ORDER ON MOTION

On 3 May 2006, the plaintiff filed its Reply Brief in support of its motion for summary

judgment and a Motion to Strike Defendant’s Opposition to the motion (Doc. # 26). As

grounds for the motion, the plaintiff alleged that

[T]he defendant has a filed a handwritten unsworn document

and portions of what he says is a brief supporting his appeal on

the criminal conviction for arson. This filing does not comply

with the requirements of this Court or Rule 546(e) and thus

cannot support a denial of the plaintiff’s motion for summary

judgment.

On 4 April 2006, the court entered an order directing the defendant to respond to the

plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment and advising the defendant of the requirements.

Accordingly, the court will evaluate the defendant’s compliance with its instructions in the

course of deciding the motion for summary judgment.

The plaintiff’s motion to strike the defendant’s opposition is DENIED.
