ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. No. 34). Plaintiff
filed a Response, Brief and Declaration, in opposition to the Motion (Doc. Nos. 46-48). In
Plaintiff’s Response, he relies heavily on some answers to interrogatories filed in another lawsuit,
Jones v. Conrad, et al., 5:10CV00355-BSM-JJV (Doc. No. 47, pp. 31-44). The Court considers this
material as “matters outside the pleadings,” and will treat the present Motion as one for Summary
Judgment, pursuant to FED.R.CIV.P. 12(d). Accordingly,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. No. 34) shall
be construed as a Motion for Summary Judgment. Defendants shall file a brief, and any relevant
evidence in support of such (including affidavits), within twenty days of the date of this Order.
Plaintiff shall file a Response to Defendants’ filings within fifteen days thereafter.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of July, 2013.
