Puckett

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 KIMBERLY OLSON, No. 2:21-CV-1482-KJM-DMC Plaintiff, v. ORDER ROBERT PUCKETT, SR., et al., Defendants. 16 Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, brings this civil action. Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for summary adjudication, ECF No. 68, Defendants’ response thereto, ECF No. 87, and Plaintiff’s reply, ECF No. 104. Plaintiff’s motion is procedurally premature. As Defendants note in their response, a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint is currently pending. Thus, the pleadings are not settled, Defendants have not answered or presented their defenses, and the case is not yet at issue. A motion for summary judgment or adjudication filed at this stage in the proceedings results in uncertainty as to which allegations are in dispute and which are not making it impossible to evaluate which disputes might raise genuine issues of material fact.
