United States DC Circuit

In third-party claims for negligence and breach of contract in connection with a burst pipe at a building managed by third-party defendant, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where 1) the alacrity with which defendant staunched the flow of water was relevant only to the measure of damages, not to liability; 2) because plaintiff did not show "good cause," the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying plaintiff's motion for an extension of time; 3) the district court did not err in denying plaintiff's motion to strike defendant's reply brief.
