UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
MORRIS WEATHERSPOON,

CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-12756
Plaintiff,
DISTRICT JUDGE LAURIE J. MICHELSON
v.
MAGISTRATE JUDGE R. STEVEN WHALEN
SURJIT DINSA, et al.,
Defendants.
_________________________________/
ORDER
Plaintiff Morris Weatherspoon, who is proceeding pro se in this prisoner civil
rights case, has filed the following motions:
-Motion to dismiss Defendant Potts’ summary judgment motion [Doc. #26].
-Motion to dismiss Defendant McGuire’s summary judgment motion [Doc. #27].
-Motion to dismiss Defendant Kornowski’s summary judgment motion [Doc. #28].
-Motion to Dismiss Defendant Dinsa’ summary judgment motion [Doc. #29].
-Motion to Dismiss Defendant Conrad’s summary judgment motion [Doc. #30].
-Motion to Deny Defendants’ motion to dismiss on grounds of qualified immunity
[Doc. #31].
While characterized as “motions to dismiss motions,” Plaintiff’s filings are, in
effect, responses to the Defendants’ motions for summary judgment [Doc. #18 and #21]. I
construed them as such, and fully considered the arguments contained therein in

-1-

preparing my Report and Recommendation to grant the Defendants’ motions.
However, to the extent that the Plaintiff’s motions [Doc. #26, #27, #28, #29, #30,
and #31] request that the Defendants’ summary judgment motions be dismissed or
stricken, they are DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
