ORDER
Presently before the court is defendant Wynn Las Vegas, LLC dba Encore at the Wynn Las
Vegas’ motion for partial summary judgment. (Doc. #62).

19

In a summary judgment motion, the moving party bears the burden of informing the court

20

of the basis for its motion, together with evidence demonstrating the absence of any genuine issue

21

of material fact. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986). “A trial court can only consider

22

admissible evidence in ruling on a motion for summary judgment.” Orr v. Bank of America, 285

23

F.3d 764, 773 (9th Cir. 2002). “Authentication is a condition precedent to admissibility . . . .” Id.

24

(internal citations omitted). Unauthenticated documents “cannot be considered in a motion for

25

summary judgment.” Id.

26

In the case at bar, the moving party has not authenticated the evidence supporting its motion

27

for summary judgment. (See Doc. #62). Without properly authenticated supporting evidence, the

1

court cannot consider the instant motion for summary judgment. See Orr, 285 F.3d at 773.

Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that defendant Wynn Las

4

Vegas, LLC dba Encore at the Wynn Las Vegas’ motion for partial summary judgment (doc. #62)

5

be, and the same hereby is, DENIED.
