IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY NORWOOD,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-2929 LKK GGH P

vs.

NAGANAMA, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action

seeking relief under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On April 19, 2012, the magistrate judge filed findings and recommendations

herein which were served on all parties and which contained notice to all parties that any

objections to the findings and recommendations were to be filed within fourteen days. Plaintiff

has filed objections to the findings and recommendations.

As part of his Objections, defendant has submitted a “Request for FRCP 60(b)(1)

Relief,” seeking permission to file a late Reply in his underlying motion for summary judgment. 

Defendant asserts “excusable neglect” in failing to file the Reply before the Magistrate in the

first place. Plaintiff opposes defendant’s request for relief.
