CIV F 04-5585 AWI TAG

ORDER EXTENDING TIME

TO FILE OPPOSITION TO

SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND

CHANGING CURRENT PRETRIAL CONFERENCE DATE

Trial in this matter is currently set for September 5, 2006, and the current pre-trial

conference date is set for July 10, 2006. Currently pending before the Court is Defendants’s

motion for summary judgment. The Court took the motion under submission as of May 22,

2006. On May 25, 2006, Plaintiff Anthony Campbell filed what is essentially a Rule 56(f)

opposition. On June 5, 2006, Anthony Campbell filed a request for proof of service of

documents. On June 14, 2006, Anthony Campbell filed an opposition to Defendants’s notice of

errata, requested proof of service of the motion for summary judgment, states that Defendants

have failed to serve him, and requests denial of the summary judgment motion on the basis of

There is no “mail box rule” recognized in the Eastern District of California for non- 1

prisoners. Thus, the Court must be in actual possession of any opposition on July 5, 2006.

Defendants’s failure to serve him. 

A review of the proofs of service that were attached to Defendants’s moving papers and

filed with this Court show that Anthony Campbell was not served. The summary judgment

papers show that Defendants served their motion on Anthony Campbell, Jr., Nolan Campbell,

Margaret Campell, Sandra Jeffcoat, but not on Anthony Campbell. Anthony Cambell and

Anthony Campbell, Jr., are separate parties. Sandra Jeffcoat and Anthony Campbell share the

same address, but they are also separate parties. Campbell did file an opposition in this case, and

at the time he filed the opposition, he made no mention of not receiving the motion. Campbell’s

opposition was signed May 17, 2006, and filed with this Court on May 25, 2006, and indicates

that Campbell somehow received at least part of the motion for summary judgment. However, it

is unclear what Campbell has actually received and when he received it. Given that the proofs of

service in this case show that Campbell was not actually served by Defendants, the lateness of his

opposition, and that he is proceeding pro per (although he is expected to follow the rules of civil

procedure), the Court believes that additional time to respond to Defendants’s motion for

summary judgment is appropriate. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Upon receipt of this order, Defendants are to IMMEDIATELY serve on Plaintiff Anthony

Campbell their motion for summary judgment and supporting papers;

2. Defendants are to file a proof of service with this Court immediately after serving

Campbell with their motion for summary judgment and supporting papers;

3. Plaintiff Anthony Campbell may serve on Defendants and file with this Court any

additional opposition to summary judgment on or by 4:00 p.m. on July 5, 2006;1

4. Defendants may file a reply to any further opposition by 4:00 p.m. on July 11, 2006;
