JOSEPH ANTHONY STAFFORD,

12

Plaintiff,

No. 2:16-CV-1403-JAM-DMC

v.

ORDER

DOSS, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this civil rights action. Pending before

17
18

the Court is “Plaintiff’s Motion Request (sic) Denial of Defendant’s Motion of Summary

19

Judgment & Requests Summary Judgment in Plaintiff’s Favor.” See ECF No. 64.
To the extent Plaintiff seeks to oppose a motion for summary judgment filed by

20
21

Defendants, Plaintiff’s filing is premature because Defendants have not filed such a motion. To

22

the extent Plaintiff seeks summary judgment in his favor, Plaintiff’s motion is defective for

23

failure to comply with Eastern District of California Local Rule 230(b), which requires that

24

motions be noticed for hearing on the appropriate Judge’s calendar. Plaintiff’s motion is also

25

defective for failure to comply with Local Rule 260(a), which requires motions for summary

26

judgment to be accompanied by a statement of undisputed facts.
