When opposing a properly supported motion for summary judgment, a party must respond with specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue of material fact and that the moving party is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law.
(1) A response to the motion for summary judgment which includes a concise statement, not to exceed two pages in length, as to why the motion should not be granted. (2) A response to the statement of undisputed material facts either admitting or denying or disputing each of the facts in the movant's statement.
To request summary judgment, a party must file a motion in writing. The party filing the motion is known as the “moving party.” The party responding to the other party's motion is known as the “non-moving party.” For information on motions generally, please refer to A Guide to Motions for Unrepresented Complainants.
Summary Appeal - How to File A Summary Appeal from summary conviction may be filed in the Clerk of Courts office within 30 days from the date of the Magisterial District Judge decision. The 30 days includes Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. To file after 30 days requires the granting of a "nunc pro tunc" petition.
Once the summary judgement is granted, the case ends there, and neither party will have to deal with the stresses of a full trial. At times, the winning party can ask for an award of costs or attorney fees from the other party unless those terms were already established in the summary judgment.
D. Responsive Brief. Within thirty days after service of the moving party's motion and brief, any party opposing the motion shall file a responsive brief, together with any opposing affidavits, depositions, transcripts or other documents.
A response must be in writing and include the same supporting documents as a motion for summary judgment. The opposition to the motion for summary judgment should also include a statement of facts showing the dispute and supporting documents.
