BELINDA LAWLER, Plaintiff, v. STEVEN BLANK, Defendant.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT (ECF No. 15)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
In this civil action, Plaintiff Belinda Lawler asserts a third-party automobile negligence claim against Defendant Steven Blank. Lawler's claim arises from a motor vehicle accident that took place on July 29, 2020. On December 13, 2022, Lawler filed a Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. (See Mot., ECF No. 15.) In that motion, she asks the Court to enter an order holding, as a matter of law, that “the tort liability limitations set forth in the Michigan No-Fault Act contained within MCL 500.3157, MCL 500.3157a, and MCL 500.3107(1)(b) are inapplicable to this case.” (Id., PageID.58.) Defendant Steven Blank filed a Response on March 27, 2023, explaining that he does not oppose Lawler's motion. (See Resp., ECF No. 22.)
Given Blank's response, Plaintiff's Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (ECF No. 15) is GRANTED. The tort liability limitations set forth in the Michigan No-Fault Act (MCL 500.3157, MCL 500.3157a, and MCL 500.3107(1)(b)) are inapplicable to this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
