STALEY v. DONALD

CLAUDE HICKS JR., Magistrate Judge

Plaintiff EDWARD STALEY has filed a MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION of the court's TEXT ONLY order of June 23, 2008 (Tab #119) which granted defendant Latoya King's MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE OUT OF TIME SUPPLEMENTAL MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT (Tab #118). Tab #128. Plaintiff seems to be under the impression that the court's order was entered by the Clerk and not by a judge of the court. This impression is incorrect: since the implementation of electronic filing, TEXT ONLY order have been permitted. The order entered at Tab #119 was, in fact, entered and docketed by the undersigned upon a determination that permitting defendant Latoya King to join in the motion seeking summary judgment previously filed by defendants Donald and Head would be in the interest of judicial efficiency; that is, it would allow the court to consider all requests for summary judgment together and would not require the separate filing of a motion by defendant King. In granting defendant King's motion, the undersigned very clearly permitted plaintiff additional time to respond thereto.

Accordingly, the relief sought in plaintiff's MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION is DENIED.

In addition, upon consideration of plaintiff's MOTION FOR INVESTIGATION (Tab #116); MOTION TO COMPEL AND STRIKE (Tab #122) and AMENDED MOTION (Tab #127); and defendants' response thereto (Tab #125) and response to the court's order of June 30, 2008 (Tab #126) submitted at Tab #130, plaintiff motions (Tabs #116, #122, and #127) are DENIED.

SO ORDERED AND DIRECTED.
