ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

REQUEST FOR RELIEF 

Defendants Dr. Cunningham and Dr. Saloum have requested relief from this Court’s 

September 29, 2015 order (Doc. 33), insofar as it denied Defendants’ motion for summary 

judgment based, in part, on information provided for the first time in Plaintiff’s objections to the 

Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations. Defendants base their request on counsel’s 

assertion that he was surprised – within the meaning of Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(1) – by the Court’s 

consideration of the substance of Plaintiff’s objections without specifically directing the 

Defendants to respond prior to ruling. The Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations 

made clear that “[a]ny reply to [] objections shall be served within fourteen (14) days after 

service of the objections.” Doc. 27 at 6 (emphasis removed). Defendants elected not to reply. 

This Court will not vacate its September 29, 2015 order to permit Defendants to file a new 

opposition.
