JASMINE THREAT, Plaintiff, v. BRUCE WATSON, Defendant.
ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (ECF NO. 26)
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE.
In this action, Plaintiff Jasmine Threat, a former inmate of the Michigan Department of Corrections (“MDOC”), accuses Defendant Bruce Watson, a former MDOC corrections officers, of sexually abusing her while she was in custody. Now pending before the Court is Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment. The motion is DENIED. The affidavit of Ms. Threat creates a material factual dispute as to whether the alleged abuse occurred and offers an explanation for Threat's prior purported admissions that no abuse occurred. (See Aff., ECF No. 29-1.) In light of the affidavit, it would not be appropriate to grant summary judgment in favor of Defendant at this time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
