On September 3, 2014, Brent Williams, the Plan Trustee (“Trustee”) for Touch America Holdings, Inc., filed a complaint initiating an adversary proceeding against, among others, AT&T Corp. (AT&T”).
In an 11 page opinion published May 27, 2011, Judge Walsh granted a motion under F.R.C.P. 56(d) and quoted another opinion which says “where the facts are in possession of the moving party a continuance of a motion for summary judgment for purposes of discovery should be granted almost as a matter of course.” Judge Walsh’s opinion is available here (the “Opinion”).
