Watch the clock
Missing this deadline usually means losing the case.
What's happening
A motion for summary judgment asks the court to decide the case on paper. If you don't respond, you lose. Responding properly, and pointing out the gaps in their evidence, is often what wins the case.
What to do about it
- Calendar the response deadline immediately, it's strict
- Point out every fact they haven't actually proven
- File your response and supporting documents
