UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DESHAWN CATHEY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CITY OF VALLEJO, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:14-cv-01749 JAM AC (PS) 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se and in forma pauperis. This proceeding was 

referred to the undersigned by E.D. Cal. R. (“Local Rule”) 302(c)(21). The parties filed crossmotions for summary judgment. See ECF No. 90 (defendants), 91 (plaintiff). 

 Plaintiff’s Opposition to defendant’s summary judgment motion does not comply with 

this court’s Local Rules, which require that each disputed fact be accompanied by “a citation to 

the particular portions of any pleading, affidavit, deposition, interrogatory answer, admission, or other 

document relied upon in support of that denial.” Local Rule 260(b); see ECF No. 95 (plaintiff’s 

Opposition). Plaintiff has indicated that he disputes certain facts in defendants’ statement of 

undisputed facts, but he has not identified any “pleading, affidavit, deposition, interrogatory answer, 

admission, or other document” in support of his assertion that the fact is disputed. To successfully 

oppose summary judgment, a plaintiff must identify evidence that demonstrates there is a factual 

dispute that can only be resolved by a jury.
