I6 Plaintiff Timothy Lee Ward wishes to appeal the granting of summary judgment in
17 favor of Defendant Gerry Bennett. In awarding summary judgment the Court concluded that
18 Defendant could not be held responsible for any violations of Plaintiffs rights due to
19 Defendant not being present when the alleged violations occurred. Defendant presented
20 evidence of his absence during the relevant time period and Plaintiff admitted that Defendant
21 was not involved in the alleged violation of his rights. (Doc. 29) In light of Plaintiffs
22 admission that Defendant was not involved in the alleged violations, and the case law
23 requiring personal participation for liability to attach, the Court concludes that Plaintiffs
24 appeal is not taken in good faith.
