ORDER

AND NOW, this 11th day of August, 2011, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment, listed in Exhibit "A," attached, are GRANTED as unopposed.¹

1 Plaintiffs have not opposed Defendants' motions for summary judgment. As provided under local rules, the Court-mu independently determine that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Loc. R. Civ. P. 7.1(c).
The basis for Defendants' motions is that Plaintiff has failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact as to whether decedent's asbestos-related injuries were caused by products manufactured, supplied, or distributed by these Defendants.
Based on the uncontested evidence presented by Defendants the Court concludes that these Defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law.

AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
