Case No. 1:17-cv-01556-LJO-SAB (PC)
ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANTS TO FILE A
RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO
COMPEL WITHIN FIVE DAYS FROM THE
DATE OF SERVICE OF THIS ORDER
[ECF No. 48]

Plaintiff Michael Benanti is appearing pro se and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action
pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Federal Narcotics Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971).

16

On March 14, 2019, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel. Defendants did not file a response.

17

Local Rule 230(l). However, based on a review of Plaintiff’s motion, it is not entirely clear whether

18

Plaintiff is seeking an order compelling a further response from Defendants. That said, the Court finds

19

that a response from Defendants is necessary in order to fully adjudicate Plaintiff’s motion.

20

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that within five (5) days from the date of service of this order,

21

Defendants shall file a response to Plaintiff’s motion to compel, filed March 14, 2019. (ECF No. 48.)
