vs.

ANTHONY NEWLAND, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

1983. Defendants, on September 21, 2007, filed a timely motion for summary judgment in

accordance with the scheduling order, filed on April 25, 2007. By Order, filed on September 19,

2007, plaintiff had been granted a thirty-day extension of time to file his motion for summary

judgment. Instead, on September 21, 2007, plaintiff filed a pretrial statement, which references a

trial date for a trial which has not yet been scheduled, the scheduling order having explicitly

stated that “pretrial conference and trial dates will be set, as appropriate, following adjudication

of any dispositive motion, if filed.”

Plaintiff is informed herein that he has thirty days from the filed date of this order

to file an opposition to defendant’s pending motion for summary judgment; in addition, if he

wishes to file a cross-motion for summary judgment, he must do so at that time. Should this
