Adams v. Metropolitan Life Insurance

RULING AND ORDER

JAMES J. BRADY, District Judge.

This matter has been submitted to the court for a Trial on the Briefs. The parties have agreed to try this action in this manner. 1 The parties have filed a stipulated administrative record 2 and have submitted their briefs into the record in this case. 3

A trial on the briefs is treated as a bench trial rather than a motion for summary judgment and is therefore governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 52(a). See Davis Oil Co. v. Mills, 873 F.2d 774, 777 (5th Cir.1989); St. Tammany Parish Tax Collector v. Barnesandnoble.com, 481 F.Supp.2d 575,…
