ELVIS MOTA, #53342-054 PLAINTIFF v. CORRECTIONS CORPORATION OF AMERICA, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff's pro se Motion for Summary Judgment [12] filed on April 5, 2012. This civil action was closed by the Memorandum Opinion [8] and Final Judgment [9] filed on January 27, 2012. Plaintiff is fully aware this case is closed because he attached a copy of the Memorandum Opinion [8] and Final Judgment [9] to a pleading [10] he filed March 15, 2012, entitled "Motion for fast -tracking civil action No. 5:11-cv-92-DCB-RHW." This Motion [10] was denied by an Order entered March 16, 2012. As previously explained to the Plaintiff, a Motion filed in a closed case is "a meaningless, unauthorized motion" with no statutory or legal basis. See Winding v. King, No. 09-60574, 2010 WL 1643277, at *1 (5th Cir. Apr. 23, 2010)(citing United States v. Early, 27 F.3d 140, 142 (5th Cir. 1994)). It is therefore,
ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [12] filed on April 5, 2012, in this closed civil action is denied.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion [13] for a hearing in conjunction with this summary judgment motion is denied as moot.
