Motion for Summary Judgment

Defendants Olympia Health Care LLC, dba Olympia Medical Center and Alecto Healthcare Services, LLC (“Defendants”) filed the pending motion for summary judgment on November 14, 2022.

On January 13, 2023, plaintiff John Watts Jr. (“Plaintiff”) filed the “Declaration of Stanley Stone in Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment,” wherein Plaintiff’s counsel (1) states that, under the circumstances described in his declaration, he forgot to calendar the motion for summary judgment and the response date, and therefore forgot about this motion, and (2) requests a continuance of the hearing date.  (Stone Decl., ¶¶ 2, 4-5.) 

The court overrules Defendants’ objections to the January 13, 2023 declaration filed by Plaintiff. 

The court orders that the hearing on defendants Olympia Health Care LLC, dba Olympia Medical Center and Alecto Healthcare Services, LLC’s motion for summary judgment is continued from January 30, 2023, to February 28, 2023 at 10:00 a.m., in Department 53.
