A motion hearing is a court proceeding where one party asks the judge to make a decision on a specific issue or request. These motions can address various legal matters, such as evidence admissibility, case dismissal, or procedural matters. The judge will listen to arguments from both sides before issuing a decision.
The Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is asking the court to rule on all pleadings that have been filed in the case. This happens if one of the defendants has filed an response or answer. The Plaintiff will usually ask for judgment when filing a motion for summary judgment.
Recourse? What do you mean by "recourse"? Do you mean what are your options?One option is to do nothing and get a summary judgment against you by default. Not a wise move unless you have no defense to a motion for summary judgment and the moving party does not seek extreme measure from you.You should file a motion in opposition to the motion for summary judgment, putting forth the facts and the law as to why the moving party is not entitled to the granting of a motion for summary judgment.A motion for summary judgment is required to clearly show that given the undisputed facts in the case (facts you have admitted to as being true), the petitioner is entitled to a certain remedy in the form of judgment as a matter of law.So, dispute the facts necessary for them to get summary judgment and dispute the application of the law that they reference as most applicable and appropriate in your case. If you successfully dispute the facts required to get summary judgment and/or you dispute the application of the law that they reference, then their motion for summary judgment will likely fail.AnswerFortunately for you, all reasonable inferences the court must make will be decided in favor of the non-moving party (you). Keep in mind that summary judgment cannot be obtained or defeated by speculation or conjecture alone; there must be specific, concrete facts that establish the claim. If you believe that you are entitled to summary judgment, you may file a cross motion for summary judgment, which details why you are entitled to a summary judgment against the other party. In that case, you will be held to the same standard of proof as the person who is requesting summary judgment against you.

A summary judgment motion tells the court that based upon all the pleadings filed in the case, there are no issues of fact for the court to resolve at a trial, and that the plaintiff is entitled to a judgment without a trial, as a matter of law.
A summary judgment is just as enforceable as any other judgment. The only difference between a summary judgment and a judgment after a trial is that a summary judgment is granted when the court believes that a trial is unnecessary. A trial would be unnecessary if the facts of the case are either undisputed or conclusively established. Once that is shown, then the court can grant a summary judgment after a proper motion is filed.
It means that someone (probably the losing party) petitioned the court to have the case re-opened and the original judgment re-considered. A hearing on the matter was conducted by the judge - and after hearing arguments for and against, the motion was DENIED.
A cross-motion for summary judgment is a legal document filed by the opposing party in response to the initial motion for summary judgment. It essentially asks the court to rule in favor of the opposing party based on the same legal reasoning and evidence presented in the initial motion. It allows both parties to seek a final judgment on the legal issues without the need for a trial.
