Carrasquillo v. Comm. of Puerto Rico, No. 06-2284. This is a Puerto Rican political discrimination case. Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(c). Plaintiff didn’t respond, but filed an untimely motion to extend the time to respond. It was granted in part. Then a motion for summary judgment was granted. And, the court finds that “Noting Carrasquillo's failure to dispute Jiménez's statement of uncontested facts, the district court held that Jiménez's facts, including his assertion that he lacked knowledge of Carrasquillo's political affiliation, were admitted.” So, essentially, there was just a lack of knowledge.
Of note is the plaintiff’s job:
Investigating Agent II, and was assigned to work in the Intelligence Unit of the Auxiliary Secretariat for the Investigation of the Correctional System (the "SAISC," for its Spanish acronym)
