Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-02148-LTB-BNB.
April 9, 2010
ORDER
This matter is before me on Plaintiffs' First Amended Motion of County Defendants' Fraud and Attempted Fraud on the Court and Request for Sanction [Doc. #348, filed 01/11/2010] (the "Motion). The Motion is DENIED.
The plaintiffs seek sanctions against defendants Maketa and Choate (the "County Defendants") for allegedly submitting fraudulent documents with their motion for summary judgment [Doc. #241, filed 09/17/2008]. The plaintiffs do not provide any authority to support their request for sanctions, and their accusations of fraud are unsupported. Indeed, it appears that the plaintiffs' motion for sanctions is actually a supplemental and belated attempt to oppose the defendants' summary judgment motion.
The plaintiffs also request that "this court convert plaintiffs motion Doc #348 into a motion for summary judgment rule 56 motion." Plaintiffs' Reply to County Defendants' Response [Doc. #365]. The request is frivolous. The dispositive motion deadline expired on August 21, 2008. The plaintiffs have not acknowledged the expiration of the deadline, nor have they shown good cause to amend the Scheduling Order to extend it.
Finally, the plaintiffs request that the court "reverse all other orders/judgments which were against Plaintiffs in this action." Id. That request is also frivolous and is denied.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED.
