United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KENNETH R. KINNARD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ROGERS TRUCKING, et al.,

Defendants /

No. C-99-4565 MMC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

TO SET ASIDE JUDGMENT; VACATING

HEARING

(Docket No. 361)

Before the Court is plaintiff Kenneth Kinnard’s (”Kinnard”) motion, filed June 7, 2006,

to set aside the judgment in the above-titled action, pursuant to Rule 60(b) of the Federal

Rules of Civil Procedure, on the ground of excusable neglect. Kinnard argues that the

judgment should be set aside because illness precluded him from filing an adequate

opposition to defendant’s motion for summary judgment.

The Ninth Circuit has already considered and rejected this argument, however. On

April 18, 2006, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the judgment and expressly held that “[t]he district

court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Kinnard’s request for a continuance for

medical reasons because Kinnard did not submit admissible evidence showing why a

continuance was necessary.” See Kinnard v. Rogers Trucking, 2006 WL 1009282 at *1

(9th Cir. 2006).

Accordingly, Kinnard’s motion to set aside the judgment is hereby DENIED, and the

July 28, 2006 hearing on the motion is hereby VACATED.
