UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROGELIO MAY RUIZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. OLIVEIRA, et al.,

Defendant.

Case No.: 17cv1914 DMS (AHG)

ORDER (1) ADOPTING REPORT 

AND RECOMMENDATION AND (2) 

GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY 

JUDGMENT

On September 19, 2017, Plaintiff Rogelio May Ruiz, a state prisoner proceeding pro 

se, filed a Complaint Under the Civil Rights Act 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff alleges his 

constitutional rights were violated while he was housed at Richard J. Donovan Correctional 

Facility. 

On February 15, 2019, Defendants R. Oliveira and B. Self filed a motion for 

summary judgment. Plaintiff submitted an opposition to the motion, but it was in Spanish. 

Nevertheless, the Court accepted Plaintiff’s filing, and directed him to resubmit his 

opposition in English. Plaintiff thereafter submitted three additional opposition briefs, but 

again, they were all in Spanish.

On July 15, 2019, Magistrate Judge Nita L. Stormes issued a Report and 

Recommendation ("R&R") on the motion, recommending that it be granted.

 Plaintiff filed 

objections to the R&R, but as with his opposition briefs, it is in Spanish. 

This Court, having reviewed de novo the Magistrate Judge's R&R, adopts the R&R 

in its entirety and grants Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. The Clerk of Court 

shall enter judgment accordingly, and close this case. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 24, 2019
