MEMORANDUM***

3
Under the standard articulated in  Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 US 242 (1986), and  Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 US 317 (1986), Judge Williams properly granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants.   Judge Ingram's prior ruling was interlocutory and subject to reconsideration at any time.   FRCP 54(b).   After that ruling, the Supreme Court delivered the Anderson and Celotex decisions and the parties completed discovery.   Judge Williams gave appellant adequate guidance as to how to oppose defendants' motions for summary judgment, but appellant was unable to do so.   Appellant presented no genuine issues of material fact to the district court.   See  Stitt v. Williams, 919 F2d 516, 520 (9th Cir 1990).   In addition, one of his claims was barred by the statute of limitations.   Summary judgment on all claims was therefore proper.
