David Pride, Jr. v. M. Correa

MEMORANDUM

Plaintiff-Appellant David Pride, a California prisoner, appeals from the district court’s: (1) grant of Defendants-Appel-lees’ motion for summary judgment; (2) denial of Pride’s motion for a continuance to conduct discovery; and (3) grant of Defendants-Appellees’ motion to dismiss Pride’s claim for injunctive relief. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 .

We hold that the district court erred by granting summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees Dr. Levin and Nurse Correa. We affirm the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants-Appellees Dr. Santiago and Warden Ochoa. We find that the district court erred by denying Pride’s motion to continue the hearing on Defendants-Appellees’ motion for summary judgment pending further discovery. Finally, we hold that the district court erred by granting Defendants-Appellees’ motion to dismiss Pride’s claim for injunctive relief. We remand for further proceedings consistent with this disposition.
