Unpublished Dispositionlarry Lampley, Plaintiff-appellant, v. William Cox; County of Summit County, Ohio, Defendants-appellees, 767 F.2d 920 (6th Cir. 1985)

The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants in this race discrimination case on March 28, 1984, which was prior to the date, April 20, 1984, that the court's discovery order had set for completion of discovery. Lampley had scheduled Cox's deposition but was unable to submit it to the court before summary judgment was entered. Lampley therefore was unable to establish that a material issue of fact existed with respect to the proffered nondiscriminatory reason for the discharge.

Given the date set by the court's discovery order and the fact that Lampley had scheduled Cox's deposition, the district court erred in granting summary judgment.

The judgment of the district court is reversed. The parties will bear their own costs of this appeal, and Lampley is not entitled to attorneys' fees for this appeal.
