DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Plaintiff Lloyd N. Hamm, Jr.’s Complaint was filed in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action pro se
on August 31, 2017. ECF No. 1. Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Motion to Admit Evidence. (ECF
No. 22).
Plaintiff’s motion seeks to bring to the Court’s attention additional evidence and
arguments relating to his claim against Defendants. A motion to admit evidence is not the proper
avenue for presenting evidence or arguments to the Court. Plaintiff’s claims have been stated in
his complaint. However, the Court will consider the additional evidence in Plaintiff’s motion as
exhibits to his Response (ECF No. 20) to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment.
In the future, any additional exhibits Plaintiff has to support his claims should be properly
submitted in connection with a motion for summary judgment or at an evidentiary hearing in the
event the claims against these Defendants proceed.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion to Admit Evidence (ECF No. 22) is GRANTED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 31st day of October 2017.
