UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Civil Action No. 12-cv-01015-WYD-KMT
WYATT T. HANDY, JR.,
Plaintiff,
v.
CITY OF SHERIDAN;
DET. KRISTINE BRYANT; in her individual and official capacity, and,
OFF. MIKE MONTOYA, in his individual and official capacity,
Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
ORDER ENTERED BY SENIOR JUDGE WILEY Y. DANIEL
THIS MATTER is before the Court on pro se plaintiff, Wyatt T. Handy, Jr.’s
Motion For Court To Strike Defendants’ Motions For Summary Judgment For Violating
The Court’s Practice Standards [ECF No. 170].
Handy argues that the defendants violated my PRACTICE STANDARDS by
collectively filing more than one motion for summary judgment and requests that I strike
the motions [ECF Nos. 109 – 111] from the record. Pursuant to Rule III(B)(1) of my
PRACTICE STANDARDS, “[t]hese procedures contemplate the filing of a single motion for
summary judgment by a party. A party may NOT file multiple motions for summary
judgment without obtaining permission from the Court. Such permission will only be
given in exceptional circumstances.” Here, each defendant filed a single motion for
summary judgment. See ECF Nos. 109 – 111. Thus, the defendants complied with my
PRACTICE STANDARDS with regard to filing a motion for summary judgment and the fact
that three motions for summary judgment are pending is of no consequence. Therefore,
it is
ORDERED that Handy’s motion [ECF No. 170] is DENIED.
Dated: January 17, 2014.
