Case No. CV 14-00860 DDP (SHx)
Order Denying Plaintiff’s Motion
to Submit Evidence Pertaining to
Various Social Service Agencies
and New Evidence for Armory
[Dkt. No. 8]

18

Presently before the court is Plaintiff in Pro Per Melody Joy

19

Baker’s Motion to Submit Evidence Pertaining to Various Social

20

Service Agencies and New Evidence for Armory. (DKT No. 8.) The

21

matter is suitable for decision without oral argument. Having

22

considered the parties’ submissions, the court denies the Motion

23

for the following reasons:

24

In the present Motion, Plaintiff seeks the court’s permission

25

to submit evidence that the Ventura Armory is not compliant with

26

the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). However, there is no

27

pending controversy for which the submission of such evidence would

28

be necessary or helpful to resolve. The underlying Complaint

1

alleges that the Oxnard Armory warming shelter facility is not

2

compliant with the ADA, but the Complaint does not allege that the

3

Ventura Armory is non-compliant. (Complaint at 3.) As there is no

4

cause in light of the Complaint for the court to consider evidence

5

related to the Ventura Armory’s compliance with the ADA, the Motion

6

is DENIED.

8

IT IS SO ORDERED.
