What is a suspend summary judgment?

In: Law & Legal Issues [Edit categories]

Answer:

It sounds like you might be referring to a "MOTION TO suspend summary judgement." That would be a formal request to the court/judge to 'stay' the imposition of whatever sentence they were about to deliver. Such a motion is usually entered when the defense has another avenue that they'd like to explore BEFORE the final sentence is imposed.
