ORDER 

 It is ORDERED that defendant Dinesh Karmunachi’s 

motions to strike (doc. nos. 184 and 212) are denied. 

In resolving the pending summary-judgment motions, the 

court has implicitly considered the motions to strike 

as a notice of objections to the testimony described 

and has considered any related briefs as arguments on 

the objections. See Norman v. Southern Guar. Ins. Co., 

191 F. Supp. 2d 1321, 1328 (M.D. Ala. 2002) (Thompson, 

J.); Anderson v. Radisson Hotel Corp., 834 F. Supp. 

1364, 1368 n. 1 (S.D. Ga. 1993). The court is capable

of sifting evidence, as required by the 

summary-judgment standard, without resort to an 

exclusionary process, and the court will not allow the 

summary-judgment stage to degenerate into a battle of 

motions to strike. 

 DONE, this the 30th day of March, 2015.
