IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCUS RUBEN ELLINGTON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0666 DFL KJM P

vs.

E.S. ALAMIEDA, et al., 

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On February 23, 2006, plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. 

Defendants have filed a motion to strike or otherwise stay the motion for summary judgment to

allow them to complete discovery. Plaintiff has opposed the motion. 

Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment does not include a statement of

undisputed facts and so does not comply with L.R. 56-260(a). Moreover, it relies on

unauthenticated and in some cases unidentified documents. See Fed. R. Evid. 901. Because it

does not comply with the rules governing summary judgment, it should be denied.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that 

1. Plaintiff’s February 23, 2006, motion for summary judgment is denied without

prejudice to refiling in accordance with the court’s scheduling order of February 21, 2006 and not

before the close of the period for discovery. 

2. Defendants’ March 1, 2006 motion to strike is denied as unnecessary in light of

the above ruling. 

DATED: March 16, 2006.
