Permission Granted
With a hat tip towards Law360 for noting that Judge Gilstrap may have quietly done away with his notorious “permission slip” requirement for filing a summary judgment motion. While previous docket control order templates required a party to submit a five-page letter brief seeking permission to file a summary judgment motion, the latest incarnation simply requires two copies of completed briefing – no permission required.
Since the “permission slip” requirement arguably was in tension with Fed. R. Civ. P. 56, the passing of this local practice may have few mourners.
