The “Preferred Procedures and General Information for Litigants Appearing Before Judge William C. Griesbach” has been revised. Judge Griesbach wishes to highlight for interested attorneys the Streamlined Summary Judgment (SSJ) procedure which may be used when a wholly or partially dispositive issue is narrow, discrete, and capable of early resolution without the need for extensive discovery, i.e., statute of limitations, statute of frauds, issues of contract interpretation, or is capable of resolution by conclusive video evidence. The SSJ procedure allows the movant to support a motion for summary judgment by filing not more than three declarations or affidavits not exceeding five pages in length, excluding exhibits and attachments, and relieves parties of the obligation to file Proposed Findings of Fact and Responses thereto as otherwise required by Civil L.R. 56. The SSJ procedure is intended to reduce costs to the parties and obtain earlier resolution of threshold or clearly dispositive issues when possible. The entire SSJ procedure can be found with the other revisions at the WIED website under the tab for judges.
