UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

JAMIL CURETON,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 16-CV-12628
HON. GEORGE CARAM STEEH
MAG. JUDGE MONA MAJZOUB

ANTHONY VANCE, CRAIG
F. WININGER, and THOMAS
SONDGEROTH,
Defendants.
________________________/
ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S “AMENDED JUDGMENT” (Doc. 36)
Pro se plaintiff Jamil Cureton brought this Bivens action against
Defendant Assistant United States Attorneys (“AUSAs”) Anthony Vance
and Craig Wininger and FBI agent Thomas Sondgeroth for malicious
prosecution. On August 29, 2017, this court accepted the report and
recommendation of Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub and granted
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment because Defendants were
entitled to absolute and qualified immunity. Now before the court is
Plaintiff’s “Amended Judgment” which he also refers to as an “amended
complaint.” Attached to that document, Plaintiff submitted two videotaped
depositions. Plaintiff argues that those two depositions taken in early May,
-1 

2018, in another lawsuit, require that this court hold an evidentiary hearing
in his previously closed civil case. Because final judgment has entered,
Plaintiff’s motion to amend is time-barred and is not properly before this
court. In addition, the court has reviewed the videotaped depositions
submitted and finds that they would not alter the court’s prior order granting
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment.
For the reasons set forth above, Plaintiff’s “Amended Judgment”
(Doc. 36) is DENIED. The Clerk is directed to file the exhibits attached
thereto in the traditional manner.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 24, 2018
