IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DWAYNE L. BURGESS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S- 03-0643 GEB GGH P

vs.

CHERYL K. PLILER, Warden, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983. By order filed on February 3, 2003, defendants’ motion for summary judgment was

vacated without prejudice for defendants’ failure to have filed their statement of undisputed facts. 

E.D. Local Rule 56-260(a). Defendants were granted 15 days to file their statement of

undisputed facts along with a re-notice of their motion for summary judgment.

On February 22, 2006, defendants sought an extension of time until March 23,

2006 to file a statement of undisputed facts and re-notice. Defendants sought additional time to

augment the undisputed facts they state that they had previously prepared but had failed to file. 

In making their request, defendants’ counsel failed to comply fully with Local Rule 5-137(b). 

Defendants filed the request and proposed order via ECF but did not email a proposed order in

wordprocessing format. Generally, the court will not consider a request that does not comply

with the Local Rules. In addition, the request was filed one day beyond the time the re-notice

and statement of undisputed facts were due. 

On March 7, 2006, defendants re-noticed their motion for summary judgment and

filed their statement of undisputed facts. Defendants’ filing was due by no later than February

21, 2006. Although defective, the court will partially grant the request for extension of time and

will deem the March 7, 2006 re-notice and statement of undisputed facts timely filed. 

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. Defendants’ February 22, 2006 request for an extension of time is partially

granted;

2. Defendants’ March 7, 2006 re-notice of summary judgment and statement of

undisputed facts are deemed timely filed; and

3. Plaintiff must file any supplemental opposition to defendants’ re-noticed

motion for summary judgment within 30 days; should plaintiff elect not to do so, the court will

deem the matter submitted upon expiration of plaintiff’s time for filing any supplemental

opposition.
