1 Company's ("Northland") cross motion for partial summary judgment on the effect of the 2 Guaranty Acts. 3 4 5 I. Northland's motion for partial summary judgment should be struck because it is untimely.
By motion filed December 22, 2005, Defendants have moved to strike Northland's
6 motion for partial summary judgment because it is untimely. [Docket No. 129] Northland's 7 motion was filed on December 5, 2005, well past the Court's October 24, 2005, deadline for 8 filing dispositive motions without leave of the Court. See Rule 16 Scheduling Order, March 9 15, 2005, ΒΆ 10 [Docket No 26]. 10

Northland's motion for partial summary judgment fails for the reasons provided in Defendants' previous filings.
If the Court does not strike as untimely Northland's motion for partial summary judgment and considers the motion on the merits, Defendants ask that the Court deem Defendants' Motion for summary judgment and Statement of Facts filed therewith, Defendants' Reply in support of Defendants' motion for summary judgment, and Defendants' Response to the statement of facts Northland filed in support of its motion for partial summary judgment to represent Defendants' substantive opposition to Northland's motion for partial summary judgment. [Docket Nos. 98, 99, 130 & 131] Northland's assertion that it is entitled to a judgment that the Arizona Guaranty Act does not bar its subrogated claim against Defendant fails for the reasons stated in these filings. Accordingly, summary judgment should be entered for Defendants and Northland's motion for partial summary judgment should be denied. DATED January 9, 2006.
