 Plaintiff’s citation to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) is disregarded. A 12(b)(6) motion seeks 1

dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. Such a motion filed by plaintiff in this action

is misplaced.

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LARRY W. BURY,

Plaintiff,

v.

AMY BRADISH, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:05-CV-00600-OWW-LJO-P

ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR PROCEDURAL DEFICIENCIES

(Doc. 22)

Plaintiff Larry W. Bury (“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 original complaint, filed May 4, 2005, against defendants Bradish and Rascoe for acting

with deliberate indifference to plaintiff’s serious medical needs, in violation of the Eighth

Amendment. Defendants Bradish and Rascoe waived service of summons but failed to make

appearances in this action. Default was entered against defendant Bradish on June 9, 2006, and

against defendant Rascoe on July 3, 2006. Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a). (Doc. 19.) On August 4, 2006,

plaintiff filed a motion seeking judgment on the pleadings or summary adjudication on his claim

against defendant Rascoe. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c), 56. 1

Other than setting forth defendant Rascoe’s failure to respond, plaintiff’s motion for relief

consists of one sentence requesting summary adjudication on the merits. As such, plaintiff’s motion

falls well short of applicable procedural requirements under motion practice. Fed. R. Civ. P. 7(b)(1);

Local Rule 78-230(b), (m); Local Rule 56-260(a).

Therefore, plaintiff’s motion is HEREBY STRICKEN on the ground that it is procedurally

deficient.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
