SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is the briefing on Defendant Arturo Gonzalez's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 178). Plaintiff Derick Edwards responded (Doc. 183), to which Gonzalez did not timely reply. So the briefing is ripe, and the Court takes the Motion under advisement.
While not filed with the Motion, two exhibits-an arrest report and affidavit-are available elsewhere in the record. (Docs. 118-1; 118-2). And Gonzalez provided a thumb drive loaded with three videos of the incident-one dash cam recording (referred to as “Exhibit B”) along with two body cam tapes. But Gonzalez failed to provide a deposition transcript used in support of his Motion. (Doc. 178 at 4-5). Because Edwards' deposition is not in the record, it cannot be used yet. Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)(1)(A) (“A party asserting that a fact cannot be or is genuinely disputed must support the assertion by . . . citing to particular parts of materials in the record, including depositions.” (emphasis added)). If Gonzalez would like the Court to consider the deposition, he must file a transcript.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
If Defendant Arturo Gonzalez intends to rely on Plaintiff Derick Edwards' deposition, Gonzalez must FILE the transcript on or before January 13, 2022.
DONE and ORDERED.
