SELYA, Circuit Judge.
In this action, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994), two defendants, José González and Domíngo Díaz Ortiz, appeal the district court's refusal to entertain their belated motions for summary judgment (in which each defendant sought to assert a qualified immunity defense). We find no abuse of discretion in the lower court's ruling and therefore affirm.
I.
