Plaintiff Homer Earl Hawkins (“Plaintiff”) is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The action was removed to this Court on January 2, 2014. 

This action currently proceeds on Plaintiff’s claim for excessive force in violation of the Eighth 

Amendment against Defendant Ibarra. 

On October 19, 2015, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on the grounds 

that (1) Plaintiff’s claim of excessive force is barred under Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 

(1994), and Edwards v. Balisok, 520 U.S. 648 (1997); (2) Plaintiff cannot present evidence 

sufficient to support a finding that Defendant Ibarra acted with a malicious or sadistic intention 

to cause harm; and (3) Defendant Ibarra is entitled to qualified immunity. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56. 

Plaintiff was provided with notice of the requirements for opposing a motion for summary 

judgment. (ECF No. 32.) Plaintiff’s opposition was due on or before November 12, 2015. To 

date, Plaintiff has not filed an opposition.
