Yost Farm Co. v. Cremer

Plaintiff appeals from a Park County District Court judgment granting summary judgment to the defendant. Summary judgment was granted because the plaintiff failed to file an opposition brief within the time limits provided by the local court rules of Park County District Court. The primary issue in this appeal is whether a trial court can take such action in light of the specific provisions set forth in the rule governing summary judgment in this state, Rule 56, M.R.Civ.P.
