Washington v. Contra Costa County Housing Authority
Plaintiff Leo Washington, who has represented himself throughout this case, appeals from a summary judgment entered in favor of defendants Contra Costa County Housing Authority (Housing Authority) and Ingrid S. Layne (collectively, “defendantsâ€). (Code Civ. Proc., § 437c.)[1] Washington contends the judgment must be reversed because defendants’ separate statement of undisputed material facts was procedurally defective in several respects; the court considered evidence that was not properly before it; the summary judgment motion was not served in a timely fashion; and the summary judgment motion was based in part on Washington’s testimony at his deposition, at which he claims he was under the influence of psychiatric medication. Washington also argues that the court should have allowed him to amend his complaint to include additional facts and causes of action on behalf of his girlfriend, Sonja Colbert, and that the court should not have unilaterally amended the judgment to include defendant Layne in the award of costs. We reject these claims.
