ORDER DENYING

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

(Docket No. 28)

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Pelican Bay State Prison personnel. On June 1, 2005, the

Court reviewed Plaintiff’s complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A and concluded that

one of Plaintiff’s claims was cognizable and dismissed one of Plaintiff’s claims with

leave to amend. Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on June 17, 2005 and another

complaint on December 29, 2005. On March 21, 2006, the Court denied Plaintiff’s

amended complaint, the Defendants have not filed a response to Plaintiff’s motion. The

Court concludes that Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is premature at this time. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment (docket no. 28) is DENIED

without prejudice. Plaintiff may renew his motion for summary judgment after the Court

has reviewed the amended complaint and the Defendants have been served, if appropriate. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
