Jackson v. Robinson
Plaintiff Fateen L. Jackson is serving a sentence in state prison. He sued a prison guard and several prison officials after the guard confiscated his CD player/clock radio because it had a metal base that could have been used to make a weapon. The trial court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment and entered judgment in their favor. Jackson now argues that the court erred in granting summary judgment for several reasons, all related to an alleged inability to complete necessary discovery before the summary judgment motion was heard: Defendants failed to respond to his discovery requests in a manner he considered satisfactory; the court refused to continue the summary judgment hearing to allow Jackson to complete additional discovery; and the court refused to file Jackson’s motion to compel discovery because of formal defects. Jackson also argues that the court erred in denying his motion for reconsideration of the summary judgment motion. Jackson’s contentions are without merit and we will affirm the judgment.
