Opinion


WALTER SHANE LANGSTON, Plaintiff, v. WIN, et al., Defendants. No. 2:12-cv-0334 CKD P United States District Court, E.D. California. December 12, 2013

          ORDER

          CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.

         On October 18, 2013, plaintiff filed a document in which he asks that defendant Win's pending motion for summary judgment be "dismissed" because Win propounded discovery requests after the deadline for doing so. However, serving a late discovery request, by itself, is not a valid basis for denying a party the ability to file a motion for summary judgment. Plaintiff also suggests the court should sanction defendant for serving late discovery requests by not allowing defendant to attach any evidence obtained via a late request to his motion for summary judgment. However, there is no evidence attached to defendant's motion for summary judgment other than defendant's declaration and portions of the transcript of plaintiff's deposition which was taken before the close of discovery.

         For these reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED plaintiff's October 18, 2013 "motion to dismiss summary judgment" (ECF No. 41) is denied.
