Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 13-6414 SECTION "N" (5)
11-07-2014
ROSE WILLIAMS, ET AL. v. PERRY MACK, ET AL.
ORDER AND REASONS
Presently before the Court is Defendants' motion for partial summary judgment regarding Plaintiff Melvin Williams' Loss of Consortium Claim (Rec. Doc. 30). Having carefully reviewed the parties' opposing and supporting submissions, IT IS ORDERED that the motion is DENIED for essentially the reasons stated in Mr. Williams' opposition memorandum (Rec. Doc. 63). This ruling, however, is of course without prejudice to Defendants' right to request judgment in their favor, as a matter of law, at the conclusion of trial, pursuant to Rule 50(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. At present, the Court simply finds that, on the showing made, Mr. Williams is entitled to present evidence supporting his claims to the trier of fact.
New Orleans, Louisiana, this 7th day of November 2014.
