Heading: Did the Court Err in Failing to Give Thomasons Sufficient Time for Discovery?

Text: Thomasons contend that they were not provided adequate time for discovery before the district court granted Bagleys' motion for partial summary judgment. Bagleys filed their motion for partial summary judgment on August 8, 2008. Thomasons filed an objection to the motion, two affidavits, and a brief, but in none of those documents did they request additional time. The motion was heard on September 8, 2008. Thomasons have not pointed to anything in the record indicating that they ever asked the district court to give them more time. Absent a request for additional time, the district court obviously did not err in failing to sua sponte grant Thomasons more time to respond to Bagleys' motion for partial summary judgment.
