Paul and Dan are involved in a traffic accident at an intersection where there is a traffic circle, but no posted signs or traffic lights.  Based on their pleadings, they are in agreement as to everything that happened in the accident, including the locations of the two cars and the timing of events leading to the accident.  The only dispute they have is the interpretation of the state law affecting who had the right of way when they collided.  There has been no discovery yet.  The appropriate motion for one of the parties to file is:
