ORDER [Docket Nos. 17, 19]
Currently before the Court are plaintiff Qiang Lu's Motion for Summary Judgment [Docket No. 17] and Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment [Docket No. 19]. The Court notes that while the Defendants style their motion as a motion for summary judgment, they seek the dismissal of claims by and against various parties to this action. Defendants do not argue for summary adjudication as to these claims, and provide no legal authority that a motion for summary adjudication is the proper vehicle to dismiss these claims.
Accordingly, the government is hereby ORDERED to file with this Court by no later than March 14, 2008 a brief clarifying the precise relief being sought and the legal standard under which such relief is sought. The government shall also submit a proposed final judgment detailing the relief sought. Plaintiff shall file a response, if any, by no later than March 19, 2008. The parties shall not make any further argument as to the merits of their respective motions; the sole purpose of the further briefing is to clarify the relief being sought by the Defendants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
