June 3, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 134 ORDER requiring Plaintiffs to respond to Section I of Defendants' Reply Brief, ECF No. #112 , which asserts that "The Court Should Not Consider Any Purported Evidence Arising from Plaintiffs' Violation of Rules 26 and 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure."

June 2, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 133 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part and denying in part #132 Plaintiffs' Motion to Grant Motion for Partial Summary Judgment by Default. Upon careful consideration, the Court agrees with Plaintiffs that, despite multiple admonishments and additional opportunities, Defendants' third attempt at a Response to Plaintiffs' Statement of Undisputed Facts [DE 29] still contains deficient responses that fail to comply with Local Rule 56.1 and this Court's Orders. Vague responses which are not limited to the specific subject matter of that particular dispute and/or which fail to clearly identify admissible evidence with pinpoint citations are insufficient for Defendants to create a genuine dispute of material fact. Challenges to timeliness or completeness or other alleged deficiencies of Plaintiffs' discovery responses are insufficient for Defendants to create a genuine dispute of material fact. The Court determines that granting by default Plaintiff's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment [61/83] is too harsh of a sanction. Rather, in adjudicating Plaintiff's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment [61/82] the Court will deem admitted each of Plaintiffs' facts where Defendants' response is noncompliant, so long as Plaintiffs' facts are supported by evidence in the record. Signed by Judge William P. Dimitrouleas on 6/2/2022. (mkz)
