IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL HOLTSINGER, No. CIV S-03-0732-MCE-CMK-P

Plaintiff, 

vs. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

TANYA VOROS,

Defendant.

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, brings this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. Pending before the court is Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 275).

Summary judgment is appropriate when it is demonstrated that there exists “no

genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a

matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c). Defendant’s motion was filed prior the entry of fact

establishing sanctions for Defendant’s failure to appear for her deposition (Docs. 315, 320). The

facts establishing Defendant’s liability have now been established. As such, summary judgment

cannot be entered in Defendant’s favor, and her motion should be denied.

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that Defendant’s motion for

summary judgment (Doc. 275) be denied.
