ORDER

It is ORDERED that the motions to strike (doc. nos.

74 and 88) are denied. 

In resolving the pending summary-judgment motion, the

court has implicitly considered the motions to strike as

notices of objections to the submissions 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); 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 26th of March, 2010.
