 Charles Edward Jackson (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis in

this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On February 21, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to

Dismiss the Complaint on the basis of Plaintiff’s alleged failure to exhaust administrative

remedies. Defendant noticed the Motion on the calendar of the undersigned for March 24, 2006,

one party is incarcerated and proceeding in propria persona, shall be submitted upon the record

and without oral argument unless otherwise ordered.” Local Rule 78-230(m). While Plaintiff is

now represented by counsel, it is this Court’s practice to apply the provision of Local Rule 78-

230(m) to all prisoner cases regardless of whether the Plaintiff is now represented by counsel or
