UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER S. RIDER,

Plaintiff,

v.

JAMES YATES, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

CASE NO. 1:07-cv-01516-SMS PC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

MOTION TO STRIKE PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

OR, ALTERNATIVELY EXTEND TIME 

FOR DEFENDANTS TO FILE OPPOSITION

AS MOOT 

(Doc. 45)

This is a civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by Plaintiff Christopher S.

Rider, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis. This action is proceeding on

Plaintiff’s amended complaint, filed June 12, 2008, against Defendant Cano for use of excessive

force and against Defendant Kahn for denial of medical care, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. 

Pursuant to the scheduling order, the deadline for filing pretrial dispositive motions passed on May

11, 2010. On December 10, 2009, Plaintiff filed his second motion for summary judgment, which

consisted only of a narrative. On December 28, 2009, Defendants filed a motion to strike Plaintiff’s

motion for summary judgment , or, alternatively, extend time for Defendants to file opposition. 

(Doc. 45.) On February 5, 2010, Plaintiff’s second motion for summary judgment, filed December

10, 2009, was stricken from the record on the ground that it was procedurally deficient. (Doc. 51.)

Since Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment upon which Defendants’ request is made has

been stricken from the record, Defendants’ motion to strike Plaintiff’s motion for summary

judgment, or, alternatively, extend time for Defendants to file opposition is moot.
