Plaintiff Akheem Williams, a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed

17 this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on April 17, 2012. This action is proceeding
18 against Defendants Garcia, Valdiz, Cortez, Silva, Castro, Day, Stephens, Collier, Torres, Delia,
19 and Tordson for use of excessive physical force, in violation of the United States Constitution.
20

On September 16, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel. Defendants filed a response on

21 October 1, 2013.
22

Plaintiff’s motion to compel is not supported by copies of the discovery requests in dispute

23 and Defendants’ responses, if any. By order filed October 3, 2013, Plaintiff was placed on notice
24 of the need to support his motions to compel with copies of the discovery requests at issue and the
25 responses, if any. (Doc. 57.) The Court recognizes that Plaintiff did not have the benefit of that
26 order at the time he filed this motion to compel, but nevertheless, the Court cannot reach the
27 merits of Plaintiff’s motion in light of its procedural deficiencies.
28 ///

1

Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion to compel, filed on September 16, 2013, is HEREBY

2 DENIED, without prejudice.
