UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

DONALD M. WANLAND, JR.,

Defendant.

No. 2:13-cv-2343-KJM-KJN PS

ORDER

On May 19, 2016, the court issued an order requiring defendant to explain why his 

“motion for summary judgment, motion for judgment, and motion to dismiss complaint” were 

filed on May 17, 2016, almost two weeks after the applicable May 5, 2016 deadline for filing 

dispositive motions. (ECF No. 79.) In response to the court’s order, defendant filed a declaration 

which adequately demonstrates that the motion papers were delivered to Federal Express for 

overnight delivery on May 4, 2016; that the motion papers were received by the Clerk’s Office on 

May 5, 2016; but that, for reasons unknown, the motion papers were not filed by the Clerk’s 

Office until May 17, 2016. (ECF No. 80.)

In light of defendant’s showing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendant’s “motion for summary judgment, motion for judgment, and motion to 

dismiss complaint” (ECF No. 78) are deemed timely filed.

2. The briefing deadlines outlined in the court’s December 24, 2015 order remain

unchanged and shall continue to apply.

3. Defendant’s request for oral argument concerning his motion is DENIED. If the court 

subsequently determines, upon submission of the motions, that oral argument is 

necessary, the parties will be notified.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
