No. 2:18-cv-0319 AC P
v.
ORDER
M.E. SPEARMAN, et al.,
14
Defendants.
15
16
Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
17
§ 1983, has filed a motion to strike defendant’s declaration in support of his motion for summary
18
judgment. ECF No. 63. He requests that the declaration be stricken on the ground that it is not
19
dated. Id. Review of the declaration reveals that the date is incomplete. ECF No. 56-4 at 3.
20
Defendant Passwater will be given an opportunity to remedy his defective declaration and he may
21
submit a properly signed and dated declaration. See 28 U.S.C. § 1746 (unsworn declarations
22
must include the date on which they are executed). It is not necessary for defendant to resubmit
23
the attachment to his declaration. Failure to submit an amended declaration will result in the
24
original declaration being disregarded.
Plaintiff also requests that the memorandum attached to the declaration be stricken
25
26
because it is not dated. ECF No. 63. However, there is no requirement that the attached
27
memorandum be dated to be admissible, and regardless, it is dated August 8, 2017. ECF No. 56-
28
4 at 5.

2. Within seven days of the service of this order defendant Passwaters shall file a

properly signed and dated declaration. Failure to do so will result in the original

declaration being disregarded.
