    I support Judge Warner's petition. Many judges on the United States District Court include a presumptive limit of one summary judgment motion, and those presumptions don't seem to impede the efficient, fair resolution of cases. The proposed amendment preserves the option of multiple summary judgment motions in appropriate cases, allowing the necessary flexibility.
