`RESPONDENT'S OBJECTION TO PETITIONER’S SECOND RESPONSE
`
`TO RESPONDENT'S REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO
`
`RESPOND TO MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT UNDER FRCP 56(f)
`
`Respondent objects to Petitioner's Second Response
`
`(“Second
`
`Response”)
`
`to Respondent's Request for Extension.of Time to Respond
`
`to Motion for Summary Judgment under FRCP 56(f).
`
`Petitioner admits
`
`that “surely responses to reply briefs” are discouraged under TBMP
`
`502.03 (Second Response, pg. 1, para. 2).
`
`The Second Response
`
`should be stricken and not considered by the Board.
`
`
`
`
`
`If the Second Response is considered by the Board,
`
`respectfully requests an appropriate opportunity to file
`
`1w
`
`jRespondent
`1
`
`J114
`
`a Reply to
`
`address the myriad of genuine issues of fact raised by Petitioner's
`
`Second Response.
`
`Petitioner's lengthy Second.Response contains numerous factual
`
`arguments illustrating that summary judgment is not appropriate in
`
`this proceeding.
`
`For
`
`example,
`
`paragraph 6 of Petitioner's
`
`declaration makes an allegation about shelf space location for
`
`medicated and non—medicated pet shampoo products.
`
`The allegation
`
`is provided for analysis by the Board as a Dupont factor and thus
`
`raises a genuine issue of
`
`fact.
`
`Respondent's request
`
`for an
`
`opportunity to conduct discovery to oppose Petitioner's Motion for
`
`Summary Judgment should be granted.
