IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOHN WESLEY WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-06-1238 FCD GGH P

vs.

LIEUTENANT FLINT, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

On May 14, 2008, defendant Jubb filed a summary judgment motion. On May 30,

2008, plaintiff filed an opposition to this motion. Plaintiff requested that the motion be denied

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(f). 

Rule 56(f) provides that if a party opposing a summary judgment motion shows

by affidavit that, for specified reasons, it cannot present facts essential to justify its opposition,

the court may either deny the motion, order a continuance to enable affidavits or other discovery

to be obtained, or issue any other just order.

On June 6, 2008, defendants filed a reply to plaintiff’s opposition. Defendants

state that plaintiff did not provide the affidavit required by Rule 56(f) nor make a showing as to

the facts he cannot present that are essential to his opposition.
