Jeanne L. Welch-Kurdle and Aaron Kurdle v. Doxa LLC, et al.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri denied Plaintiffs’ motion to reconsider an order allowing J.B. Hunt to join co-defendants’ motions for summary judgment. The court held that J.B. Hunt properly incorporated the pending motions, was similarly situated to the other defendants, and had provided Plaintiffs a fair opportunity to respond.

Holdings

1. Reconsideration was not warranted because J.B. Hunt properly incorporated the pending motions in full, the summary-judgment grounds applied equally to J.B. Hunt and Doxa as similarly situated defendants, and plaintiffs had a full and fair opportunity to respond.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the Court should reconsider its order allowing J.B. Hunt to join the defendants' pending motions for summary judgment.
2. Whether Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(g)(1) and the Court's case-management discretion permitted J.B. Hunt to incorporate the pending summary-judgment motions in full.
