IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MONTE LEE BRIDGES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-0274 FCD CMK P

vs.

D.L. RUNNELS, et al.,

Defendants.

 / ORDER

Plaintiff brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This

proceeding was referred to the undersigned by Local Rule 72-302 by the authority of 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1). On November 8, 2005, plaintiff filed an opposition to defendants’ answer to his

complaint. 

Plaintiff is advised that an answer to a complaint is not a motion. An answer is a

pleading and a reply answer is not allowed unless the court orders the filing of a reply. See Fed.

R. Civ. P 7(a). The court has not ordered plaintiff to reply to defendants’ answer and declines to

do so. Plaintiff’s unauthorized answer will be disregarded.
