Plaintiff’s claims. Pursuant to Klingele v. Eikenberry, 849 F.2d 409 (9th

is advised of the following requirements for opposing a motion for summary

judgment made by Defendant pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure. Such a motion is a request for an order for judgment on

some or all of Plaintiff’s claims in favor of defendants without trial.

following ways: (1) Plaintiff may rely upon statements made under the

penalty of perjury in the complaint if the complaint shows that Plaintiff

has personal knowledge of the matters stated and if Plaintiff calls to the

court's attention those parts of the complaint upon which Plaintiff

relies; (2) Plaintiff may also serve and file affidavits or declarations1

setting forth the facts which plaintiff believes prove Plaintiff's claims

(the persons who sign the affidavit or declaration must have personal

knowledge of the facts stated); (3) Plaintiff may also rely upon written

records but Plaintiff must prove that the records are what Plaintiff

claims they are ; (4) Plaintiff may also rely upon all or any part of 2

the transcript of one or more depositions, answers to interrogatories, or

admissions obtained in this proceeding. Should Plaintiff fail to

contradict Defendant's motion with affidavits, declarations, or other

evidence, Defendant's evidence will be taken as truth, and final judgment

may be entered without a full trial. See Rule 56(e). Plaintiff’s waiver

of opposition to Defendant's motion may result in the entry of summary

judgment against Plaintiff. A motion supported by affidavits or

declarations that are unsigned will be stricken. The failure of any party

An affidavit is a written declaration or statement of facts, made 1

voluntarily, and confirmed by the oath or affirmation of the party making

it, taken before an officer having authority to administer such oath. An

unsworn declaration has the same effect as an affidavit, provided that

it is dated and signed under penalty of perjury, as follows: “I declare

under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.” 28

U.S.C. § 1746. Affidavits and declarations must be made on personal

knowledge and must set forth facts as would be admissible in evidence. 

See Rule 56(e).

Sworn or certified copies of all papers referred to in an affidavit 2

must be attached to the affidavit and served on the opposing party. Rule

56(e).
