1Opinion of the Court
McCONNELL, JR., District Judge.
This stockholders’ class action suit challenging the fairness of a corporate merger raises the issue of whether the district court precipitately, granted summary judgment in light of plaintiffs’ Rule 56(d) Affidavit outlining the discovery they needed to respond to the dispositive motion.
