ORDER
Plaintiff Christopher Antonio Crenshaw proceeds in this action pro se and in forma
pauperis pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Currently before the Court is Defendant Redfearn’s
Motion to Compel. ECF No. 15.
Defendant Redfearn has not attempted to confer with Plaintiff in an effort to obtain the
discovery responses without court action as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37.
Plaintiff’s incarceration does not excuse Defendant from attempting to resolve the discovery
dispute in good faith without court intervention by contacting him through written correspondence
notifying him of his failure to timely respond and giving him a deadline to respond prior to filing
a motion to compel.
Accordingly, Defendants’ Motion to Compel (ECF No. 15) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 6th day of April 2017.
