ORDER

Plaintiff, is proceeding in this action pro se and in forma pauperis pursuant to 28
16
U.S.C. § 1915. This proceeding was referred to this court by Local Rule 302(21), pursuant to 28
17
U.S.C. § 636(b)(1).
18
Presently pending on this court’s law and motion calendar for November 17, 2011
19
is defendants’ motion to dismiss. On September 27, 2011, plaintiff filed a document entitled
20
“motion for summary judgment.” The motion has not been noticed for hearing. Plaintiff has not
21
filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss. Therefore, to the extent possible, the court will
22
construe plaintiff’s filing as an opposition to the motion to dismiss. To the extent that the motion
23
is one for summary judgment, it will be vacated without prejudice as premature, pending a ruling
24
on the motion to dismiss.
