Pending before the court is Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 275). 19 Summary judgment is appropriate when it is demonstrated that there exists “no 20 genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a 21 matter of law.” Fed.

The 23 facts establishing Defendant’s liability have now been established. As such, summary judgment 24 cannot be entered in Defendant’s favor, and her motion should be denied. 25 26 Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (Doc. 275) be denied. 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District 2 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l).
