UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE TYRONE COOPER,

Plaintiff,

v.

JEANNE WOODFORD, 

DIRECTOR, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-00214-AWI-GSA PC

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S

PROCEDURALLY DEFICIENT MOTION 

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(Doc. 54)

Plaintiff Willie Tyrone Cooper is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On February 16, 2010, Plaintiff filed a timely

motion for summary judgment. (Doc. 54.)

Local Rule 260(a) requires that “[e]ach motion for summary judgment or summary

adjudication shall be accompanied by a ‘Statement of Undisputed Facts’ that shall enumerate

discretely each of the specific material facts relied upon in support of the motion and cite the

particular portions of any pleading, affidavit, deposition, interrogatory answer, admission or other

document relied upon to establish that fact.” Compliance with the rule requires Plaintiff to include

a separate statement of facts which sets forth each fact relied upon, and for each fact, cites to the

evidence in support of the fact. Although Plaintiff does cite to evidence in his memorandum of

points and authorities, it is not the duty of the Court or Defendants to wade through Plaintiff’s

arguments and separate out the individual facts supporting the motion from argument. Plaintiff must

comply with the Local Rule by filing a separate statement of undisputed facts.
