Plaintiff has filed two motions seeking to open discovery. He also seeks copies of various

18

policies, guidelines, reports and information with which to amend his pleading in this action.

19

(Docs. 8, 11.) However, on June 28, 2017, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file an amended

20

complaint or to notify the court he is willing to proceed only on the claims found cognizable

21

therein. (Doc. 13.) Plaintiff’s has not yet responded. Thus, his request for discovery is

22

premature. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motions for discovery (Docs. 8, 11) are DENIED without
