UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Juan Jaimes is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

On October 3, 2016, Defendant Barnes filed a motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 66.) 

In Woods v. Carey, 684 F.3d 934, 939 (9th Cir. 2012), the Ninth Circuit held that a pro se 

prisoner plaintiff must be provided with “fair notice” of the requirements for opposing a motion for 

summary judgment at the time the motion is brought. Review of the current motion shows that 

Defendants did not provide Plaintiff with a Rand notice upon the filing of the motion for summary 

judgment. See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952 (9th Cir. 1998). Since Defendants failed to provide 

Plaintiff with the required notice concurrent with the filing of the motion, this motion shall be denied 

without prejudice, subject to refiling with the appropriate notice to Plaintiff. Wood v. Carey, 684 F.3d 

at 936, 938-941.
