Case No. 09-C-471
11-22-2011
1ST RATE MORTGAGE CORP., Plaintiff, v. VISION MORTGAGE SERVICES CORP., et al. Defendants.
ORDER
Defendant Ronald Hugo has filed a letter asking that I reconsider my partial denial of his summary judgment motion. The motion will be denied. Hugo cites a few lines from the deposition testimony of Plaintiff William Thayse that Hugo claims show that Thayse authorized his conduct. Read generously, the deposition testimony could suggest consent, but consent was not the topic of the deposition questions and the few sparse responses certainly do not show conclusively that Thayse had given consent to copy the files in question. Hugo is free to argue the point to the jury (if it is relevant), but it is not a basis for reconsideration.
In addition, the issue of consent was not a part of the motion for summary judgment. Thus, there is no basis to "reconsider" that decision. The motion is DENIED.
