UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAYNE L. BURGESS,

Plaintiff,

DEFENDANTS' MOTION FOR SUMMARY 

JUDGMENT 

(Doc. 61)

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

' 1983. Plaintiff is proceeding on his claims against Defendants Raya, Garcia, Polanco, and 

Fernandez for battery under California law and excessive force in violation of the Eighth

Amendment and against Defendants Raya and Polanco under the additional claims of conspiracy 

and retaliation in violation of the First Amendment as stated in the Third Amended Complaint. 

(Docs. 27, 29, 32.)

On March 9, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting that Defendants' pending motion for 

summary judgment (Doc. 60) either be denied or postponed as the parties have been amicably 

working together and he has not received full responses from Defendants to his outstanding 

discovery, but had been assured that they were forthcoming; and after their receipt he intends to 

file an opposition to Defendants' motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 61.) Defendants filed a 

statement of non-opposition concurring that the parties have been very amicable in this action and
