FootNotes
1. Because defendant Durham joins, in toto, her co-defendants in their motion for summary judgment and their opposition to plaintiffs' motion, any reference to Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment incorporates the motion of defendant Durham.
2. Paragraph 6 of the [First] Affidavit of Monica Griffin explains that Exhibit D to Plaintiffs' Brief in Opposition is a series of photographs. Although the cover sheet for Exhibit D to Plaintiffs' Brief in Opposition appears in Document 88 (specifically, as page 21 of 31), the photographs themselves appear electronically on the docket as Document 88-3 (specifically, as pages 1 through 11 of 11).
