UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ANDREW A. CEJAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

MYERS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:12-cv-00271-AWI-DLB PC

ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFF’S 

OBJECTIONS TO DEFENDANTS’ REQUEST 

TO SUPPLEMENT MOTION

(Document 140)

Plaintiff Andrew A. Cejas (“Plaintiff”) is a California state prisoner proceeding pro se and in 

forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action is proceeding on 

Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint for violation of the First Amendment against numerous 

Defendants.

Defendants’ January 11, 2016, motion for summary judgment is pending.

On January 15, 2016, the Court granted Defendants’ January 14, 2016, request to supplement 

their motion for summary judgment with the declaration of the custodian of records.

On January 25, 2016, the Court received “objections” from Plaintiff. Plaintiff argues that 

Defendants should not be permitted to supplement the record with additional evidence after the 

January 11, 2016, dispositive motion deadline. Plaintiff contends that this is a violation of his due 

process rights.

Defendants supplemented the record to add the declaration of the custodian of records. This 

document, which Defendants were in the process of obtaining when they filed their motion for 

summary judgment, has nothing to do with the underlying merits of Plaintiff’s action. Rather, the 

declaration will assist the parties in evaluating the authenticity of certain prison records. 

Plaintiff has not been prejudiced in any way and his objections are DISREGARDED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
