UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT QUINCY THOMAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

LT. M. STAINER,

Defendant.

 /

CASE NO. 1:02-CV-05550-REC-LJO-P

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S MOTION

FOR LEAVE TO FILE A LATE MOTION FOR

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

(Doc. 64)

Plaintiff Robert Quincy Thomas (“plaintiff”) is a 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 complaint, filed on May 13, 2002, against defendant Stainer (“defendant”) for use of

excessive physical force, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. On July 20, 2005, defendant filed

a motion seeking leave to file a late motion for summary judgment. 

During a telephonic hearing held on August 4, 2005, defendant’s counsel stated that she was

awaiting documents which would allow her to determine whether or not a motion for summary

judgment might aid in the resolution of any issues. On August 29, 2005, at the telephonic hearing

set to revisit the issue, defendant’s counsel stated that she believes there exist disputed factual issues

that must be resolved at trial.
