What is the difference between a regular motion for summary judgment and a fully-briefed motion for summary judgment (summary judgment packet)?
In a regular motion for summary judgment, the moving party files its motion and supporting documents with the court by the dispositive motion deadline specified in the scheduling order. The opposing party then has thirty days to file a response, and the moving party has fifteen days to file a reply. In a fully-briefed motion for summary judgment, the moving party will serve the motion and supporting documents on the opposing party, but will not file the motion with the court at that time. The opposing party has thirty days to serve a response on the moving party. The moving party then has fifteen days to draft a reply and file the entire packet with the court. The entire packet (consisting of the motion, response, and reply) must be filed by the dispositive motion deadline specified in the scheduling order.
