• Whether the district court erred in granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants.

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s orders denying the Plaintiff’s motion to amend the complaint and granting summary judgment in favor of the Defendants (para 7).

Reasons

• Per ZACHARY A. IVES, Judge (J. MILES HANISEE, Chief Judge, and JACQUELINE R. MEDINA, Judge, concurring):
  The Court of Appeals consolidated the Plaintiff's appeals and, after reviewing the Plaintiff's response to a notice of proposed summary disposition, remained unpersuaded that the Plaintiff demonstrated error, leading to the affirmation of the district court's decisions (paras 1-3).
  The Court noted deficiencies in the Plaintiff's docketing statements, specifically their failure to set forth the grounds for the district court’s rulings, and relied on the Defendants' arguments in district court to provide the grounds for the district court’s rulings (para 2).
  The Plaintiff's memorandum in opposition was criticized for not demonstrating that the presumption the district court ruled on the grounds asserted by Defendants was incorrect, and for not complying with instructions to directly respond to each of the grounds upon which the Court of Appeals relied to propose affirmance (para 3).
  The Court highlighted that neither a misunderstanding of the law nor a dislike for the summary calendar system relieves parties of the obligation to know and comply with court rules and law (para 4).
  The Court addressed and rejected the Plaintiff's due process challenge to the fairness of resolving her case without full briefing, citing precedent that neither due process nor equal protection requires assignment to one calendar or the other (para 5).
  The Court found the Plaintiff's memorandum in opposition relied on conclusory statements of law and allegations of error without demonstrating error in Defendants’ arguments, which the Court proposed to hold were correct (para 6).
