ORDER SETTING BRIEFING

MOTION; PROVIDING RAND/

WOODS NOTICE

On December 30, 2009, plaintiff, a California prisoner incarcerated at Corcoran State

Prison (“CSP”) and proceeding pro se, filed the above-titled civil rights action under 42

U.S.C. § 1983. On April 26, 2011, defendants filed a motion to dismiss and for summary

judgment (hereafter, “motion for summary judgment”). Thereafter, the Court referred the

action to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth D. LaPorte for discovery and stayed briefing on

defendants’ motion for summary judgment. A review of the docket shows that Magistrate

Judge LaPorte has now resolved all outstanding discovery matters.

Accordingly, the Court hereby orders as follows:

1. No later than February 11, 2013, plaintiff shall file with the Court and serve on

defendants his response to the motion for summary judgment.

2. No later than February 25, 2013, defendants shall file and serve a reply.

Further, the Court provides herein for plaintiff’s information the following notice in

connection with defendants’ pending motion for summary judgment1

: 

NOTICE — WARNING (SUMMARY JUDGMENT)

If defendants move for summary judgment, they are seeking to have your case

dismissed. A motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure will, if granted, end your case.

Rule 56 tells you what you must do in order to oppose a motion for summary

judgment. Generally, summary judgment must be granted when there is no genuine issue of

material fact – that is, if there is no real dispute about any fact that would affect the result of

your case, the party who asked for summary judgment is entitled to judgment as a matter of

law, which will end your case. When a party you are suing makes a motion for summary

judgment that is properly supported by declarations (or other sworn testimony), you cannot

simply rely on what your complaint says. Instead, you must set out specific facts in

declarations, depositions, answers to interrogatories, or authenticated documents, as provided

in Rule 56(c), that contradict the facts shown in the defendants’ declarations and documents

and show that there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial. If you do not submit your

own evidence in opposition, summary judgment, if appropriate, may be entered against you.

If summary judgment is granted, your case will be dismissed and there will be no trial.

NOTICE — WARNING (EXHAUSTION)

If defendants file an unenumerated motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust, they are

seeking to have your case dismissed. If the motion is granted it will end your case.

A motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust administrative remedies is similar to a

motion for summary judgment in that the court will consider materials beyond the pleadings. 

You have the right to present any evidence you may have which tends to show that you did

exhaust your administrative remedies. Such evidence may be in the form of declarations

(statements signed under penalty of perjury) or authenticated documents, that is, documents

accompanied by a declaration showing where they came from and why they are authentic, or

other sworn papers, such as answers to interrogatories or depositions. 

If defendants file a motion to dismiss and it is granted, your case will be dismissed and

there will be no trial. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 7, 2013
