Pretrial Matters

Question 1

MSJ, generally

Answer 1

Contends that there are no disputed issues of fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law

If it appears from pleadings, orders, admissions, or after striking evidence that a party is entitled to judgment, court must enter it in their favor

Partial MSJ may be granted as to any claim or portion thereof, including as to liability even if damages aren’t certain

Can’t rely on a depo unless agreed!
