Order on Motion to Strike
Judge Mark G. Mastroianni: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered finding as moot 131 MOTION to Strike Paragraphs 16, 21, 26, 27, 30, 38, 40, 43, 49, 52, 55, 56, 66-67, 69, 73, 75, 80-81, 83-84, 87-88, and 95 of Defendant's Statement of Facts by Jane Doe. Plaintiff moves to strike Paragraphs 21, 26, 27, 38, 40, 43, 66, 67, 69, 73, 75, 80, 81, 83, 84, 87, and 88 of Defendant's Statement of Undisputed Material Facts, as Defendant has failed to cite any evidence to support such statements. Plaintiff further moves to strike Paragraphs 30, 49, 55, 56, and 95 of Defendant's Statement of Facts, as such statements constitute inadmissible hearsay. Finally, Plaintiff moves to strike Paragraph 52, on the grounds that it is so ambiguous and confusing, Plaintiff cannot adequately respond to it.
On August 31, 2026, the court issued its order on Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. (Dkt. No. 154 .) In its analysis, the court did not include or rely on any of the paragraphs that Plaintiff seeks to strike from Defendant's Statement of Undisputed Material Facts. (Id.) Accordingly, the court finds Plaintiff's motion to strike as moot. (MMR)
