UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HANIF S. ABDULLAH,

Plaintiff,

v.

DACUYCUY, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:19-cv-0804 TLN DB P

ORDER

Plaintiff proceeds pro se with a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendants 

Dacuycuy, Hortizuela and Mutopo have answered the complaint. On December 10, 2021, 

plaintiff moved the court to strike defendants’ affirmative defenses. (ECF No. 42.) Defendants 

have responded, arguing the court should deny the request. (ECF No. 43.)

Pursuant to Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a district court “may strike 

from a pleading an insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous 

matter.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f). Having reviewed the affirmative defenses asserted, the court finds 

no basis on which to strike them.
